Surprised this one hasn’t been nominated, a great version with impassioned Garcia vocals and lead runs, give it a listen. Love the vocal coda as well.

Phil's Earthquake Space needs to be listed, funny, scary, bizarre. With the Raven space the following night in Baltimore, two great shows in a row.

You can tell it’s going to be a good one when Garcia belts out the early “If I told bout all that went down…” line with vim and vigor.

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Omni Coliseum

Very hot late 80's version, The final jam is epic, Myland playing like he's possessed, A great 2nd set opener, the LLR that follows is also very good.

This one is worth a listen, a great version. Now released on the 30-Trips box set, (yes it has taken me 6-months to get to 88') and it must have been the first time hearing it since that crazy weekend in Maine, just gave me tingles. Heard LLR live 67 times and well over 1,000 times since, always has been one of my favorites, cheesey lyrics aside, it was always sung with passion, this version is no different. On par with another great 88' version from Atlanta. This one need more votes, listen and vote.

I love this version, released on 30-Trips Around the Sun boxset, the whole show is very good

Just listened again, (about 10 times) I love this version, released on 30-Trips Around the Sun boxset, it's worthy, the whole show is worthy. I like the Matrix or even just the audience recording, https://archive.org/details/gd1983-10-21.aud.silberman.348.shnf (I was patched into Jeff Silbermans' rig, 2nd Row center), much better than the 30-Trips version, the kick-drum is more muted. One of the best shown opening Music's ever played.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Worcester Centrum

Was at this show and needed to vote for it a long tome ago, just gave the 30-Trips Around the Sun boxset version a listen, WOW!, Great Scarlet, one of the nicest fluid transition jams you will ever hear and an OK Fire. Your really can't be too critical of the Fire, just not on par with Hartford a week before, don't wait give it a listen and vote.
