Yale Bowl, Yale University

A great vesion from ’71 with a unique Darkness Darkness transition jam after the “We bid you Goodnight” coda. Very deep, spiritual interplay.

Mother's Day Dead, One of the best GDTR from the early 80's, Weir is just thrashing chords during the second jam, check it out

Madison Square Garden

A Major Break-Out, you must hear the crown reaction, none of the '83 versions really stand out, but this needs to be heard.

Great version from a great show, I love how Jerry growls the “Last fair deal…” line great stuff, foreshadowing the Werewolves to come.

The first time I saw Aiko Aiko, great singing by Garcia, clearly having a blast. RPI is an underrated show, with many, many highlights.

Jack Straw

One of my favorites, great vocals and a way above average closing jam

Good Jack Straw, not great I was at this show and Phil was having a blast. 08-27-83 does have my favorite Brown Eyed Women

This was the first Jack Straw that came to my mind as being up there with 01-11-79, I love the fat sounding Wolf from '78, but 01-11-79 is hotter.
