Great powerful version, (Phil is possessed) from an underrated show, give it a listen.

Glenns Falls Civic Center

Great intro, Weir on slide, (yes well played Weir slide), some nice jamming between verses, more slide, (not as nice), another jam after the NFA coda

Another solid version from the Fall ’79 tour, neat closing jam, not as long as the 2 amazing Cape Cod versions, but worth a listen

Holleder Memorial Stadium

Out of an amazing and way underrated Half-Step, this version rocks. Not quite up to the Cape Cod versions, but Fall ’79 rules. Give it a listen.

Another smoking version from Spring ’83. Just listened to it for the first time in 29-1/2 years. Great Bobby rap again, Get No, Get No, No No No!

Another great version from the fall of ’79. Phil is driving this train, powerful chords throughout, nice Weir solo and then Jerry kills it. “The Song that Women sung…” Road Trips No.1 Vol 1 Full Show

“Grendel Books and Music” is right, this version smokes. I just finished listening to the second set of this show, which has some very Heady versions as well.
Deal
May 10, 1978
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

“Coralsandbelow” and “Maximillian” If you guys like this Deal, (which I also do as well), check out the UVM version from 5/6/78, 3 shows before this one. The Donna warning is also appropriate.

The Palladium

Yes this whole jam is very good, I love the slow mellow Jerry space jam that melts into Stella Blue, great nomination “hmi1892- another fan”.

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Torin, never stop now is soo right, this version is “Balls Out Rock and Roll”, the peak will leave you breathless, very, very aggressive, surprised they didn’t blow a few speakers.
