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

Cryptical Envelopment

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.

Greek Theater

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.

To Lay Me Down

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.
