Good early version, (5th time played) The only time I saw it close the first set, worth a listen.

The final jam goes at least once more around than usual. Weir is strumming like a mad man and Lesh as many power chords, great version.RT Vol. 3 No. 4

To Lay Me Down
Aug. 3, 1982
Starlight Theatre

Great version from a great show, only three To Lay Me Down’s in ’82, all are very good.
To Lay Me Down
Oct. 17, 1983
Olympic Center

I believe this is the best one I saw live, the only ’83 version and it was very emotional and powerful. The entire place was silent during this song, (after blowing the roof off during Sugaree) and the finale just gives me chills.
Stagger Lee
Aug. 10, 1982
Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Agree that this is an amazing show, this Stagger Lee, not so much, good but not stellar, it adds to the quality of the show, no doubt, but there a dozen’s better from ‘78 and ‘79 alone.
Stagger Lee
Oct. 27, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

The entire show could be nominated, well sung version with authoritative bass lines by Lesh, Mydland adds a lot to this version, one of the best of ’79 for sure, give it a listen.
Stagger Lee
Dec. 16, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Great version from what I believe is the bell weather year for Stagger Lee, but is this the best? Top three for sure, I’ll listen to a few more before I vote.
