The Cryptical Reprise is a beast, this whole show could be nominated, Dick’s Picks Vol. 8, listen again and vote.

River Bend Music Center

Great Show, 2nd “Cryptical Envelopment” in 13-years, Jerry’s voice is not in the best shape, but well worth a listen.

The ‘Bust Out” version from the Greek, still remember someone throwing a huge basket full of rose pedals in the air when Jerry hit the first notes.

Robert F. Kennedy Stadium

Sadly, I must also nominate the last one played, from what was the best “Stadium” show I saw. RIP Brent.

Another great version from Spring ’90, got to love the MIDI tone of Garcia’s guitar.

Kiel Auditorium

Another great version from the fall of ’73, in the opener slot to boot, can’t wait to hear the rest of the show.

Winterland Arena

Outstanding version, just silky smooth. Nov / Dec ’73 has my favorite versions of HCS, this one needs more votes. On par with 11/14 San Diego and 11/17 UCLA versions.
Shakedown Street
Oct. 31, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Another great version from the fall of ’79, the jam builds very slow and steady, driven by some great keyboards by Brent, but the band never peaks like 10/25 New Haven, but still very good. This version should have more votes, give it a listen.
Shakedown Street

New Haven Coliseum

The best Shakedown from the fall of ’79 issued on RT Vol. 1 No, 1, sadly the only song from a great show that made it on this Road Trips, every show on the Sept & Oct East Coast tours are worth seeking out.
Jack Straw
July 2, 1988
Oxford Plains Speedway

Phil was definitely sending a message, “Wake Up Jerry” after a lackadaisical Iko Iko opener. The mix was also weird at the beginning, hard to get your levels right with Phil hammering it home. A must listen for any Jack Straw / Phil fan but not really not on par with some of the other amazing Jack Straw’s from ’78 thru 1980, even a few from ’84 beat this one IMHO.
