Wow this version smokes, only an (Great) AUD recording is available, but Jerry is possessed, kinds of blows up at the end, but the middle jam rocks.

Not surprised this version is not listed, only an AUD recording is available, make sure you get the Space_Wharf Rat into, Phil is divine.

Great version there’s a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf4B-p3B3K0 During the jam the video focuses on Phil and he is clearly having a blast.

The bust out version, 1st one since the Melk Weg, what a run at the BCT. Give it a listen.

Long, long closing jam, major Phil bombs and fiery strumming by both Weir and Garcia, give it a listen. Road Trips No.1 Vol 1 Full Show.

I love the interplay between Garcia’s lyrics and Branford’s sax, very sweet. Give it a listen and you will agree.

Cool version, returning to the main theme middle jam is was unexpected, but not the only time they did it. 4/12/82 Nassau, Bobby even noted “If this don’t… if this don’t work, I don’t know…. it’s gotta work” and also the first time 5/1/ 80 Greensboro. I was at this Baltimore show and Nassau and I need to listen to all again before I vote. Many, many good things happened in Baltimore that crazy night, so I have no doubt the last time they tried it was the best.

Face melting, neuron frying jam, one of the best of ’77 in my book, so top ten overall. If you don’t’ know this version, you should Dick’s Picks 34 Bonus Tracks, give it a listen and vote.

Never had heard this version, thanks for the input Estimated. Love the few rifts of Mountain Jam, unique I believe. The SBD that is linked is OK, I like the audience sources better. I love 1980’s China> Rider, just nominated three from 1980 that weren’t among the over 100 listed. There are almost 50 nominated with only 1 vote, so hopefully people will start listening to what’s here and give their opinions. Still nobody is taking your advice Estimated, too bad it you love early 80’s Dead, this rocks. Just gave it another listen, Love it!!

Glad this one is high on the list. The final climax will leave you breathless, then the jam in to China Doll is just sublime. The whole show deserves another, then Vote, Dick's Picks #10.
