A stunning final jam, this Wharf Rat is one of my favorites, listen to the final jam. I believe the 3 night Fri, Sat, Sun run has three of the best J

Surprised this one is not listed, a great year for Half-Step, this one is worth a listen, a good version.

Great end to a great 4 night run, 2 MSG and the 2 Nassau shows. Being the first Casey Jones I saw live makes it special to me, but it smokes. Give i

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

The most agressive Garcia vocals, matched by his playing, top 10 easy, don't know why it wasn't on the list

Great interplay between Bobby and Jerry. Well jammed out and then the Jerry / Billy solo jam at the end is fabulous. Surprised it is not on the list.

Stagger Lee

Allan Kirby Field House

2nd set Stagger Lee, well sung nicely jammed out, one of the best of ’79 for sure.
Sugar Magnolia
Aug. 10, 1982
Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Was on this tour, Kansas City, St Paul & Alpine Valley, (Dicks Picks #32) but didn't go to the last show in Iowa City, one of the best Sugar Mags out there. Major Phil bombs and a real nice call and response during Sunshine Daydream, Bobby wailing away and Jerry with a pure lick. Very tasty, check it out and turn up the bass.
Visions of Johanna
March 19, 1986
Hampton Coliseum

The breakout, loved this 3-night run at Hampton, a break-out each night. Great version of Visions of Johanna, faintly remembering the Dylan version, we all tried in vain to sing the lyrics.

Delta Center

I was at the first break-out of Visions in Hampton in 86’ and this ’95 version is equally great, well sung by Garcia. One highlight from the last year.
That Would Be Something

Boston Garden

The first one, great into by Hornsby, following Garcia lead. Dick’ Pick Vol 17 and the only one I know, don’t listen too much beyond the Hornsby years, will have to give the 93’ versions a listen.
