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.

Greatest Story Ever Told

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Very good version, Garcia is all over his solo. This show has a few more "break-outs" as well, overall a good show to end the Keith and Donna era.
Not Fade Away
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

The first jam is quite nice, but is the jam after the second vocals that is really cool. Starting @ 7:20 Jerry and Bob are strumming a chorded structure, very similar to the standard Not Fade Away fare, but a little different, this builds a little bit and you are wondering if Jerry is going to solo, another round of the strumming and then wham, Jerry takes off on a ferocious lead, @ 8:10 very cool lead run, to short but you will like it.

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

I really like the tone of Garcia’s guitar in this version; I believe this was the first show with the new “Lighting Bolt” guitar. He absolutely shreds the last solo, taking the band with him to new heights, last gasp of amazingness?, (new word, like it?) Best version I have heard, give it a listen.

The great final coda is the only moment in a poor show, this version is worth a listen, but not because it closed the 2nd set, shit with only I Need a Miracle, but that is the downfall of any show past ’91.

Nassau Coliseum

Spring 1990 rocks, this is in the box set, should now get more votes. Well sung version, sometimes Garcia was so lucid in his singing, a great solo closes a great version.
