Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Jan. 12, 1979
The Spectrum

Out of a great NFA, this Going Down the Road rocks, Weir is strumming chords like a madman and Phil drops a few bombs for good measure, give it a try.

Not Fade Away
Jan. 12, 1979
The Spectrum

Great version, slow powerful into then 14 + jamming minutes from an underrated show. Wish there was a SBD, give it a listen anyway.

The Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo)
Dec. 30, 1985
Oakland Coliseum

Must give a nod to the first one, the only one I know of with a middle Jerry solo.

Greatest Story Ever Told
Aug. 20, 1983
Frost Amphitheatre

Just exactly perfect, the moment when Jerry starts his solo and the sound wave pulsated through the crowd.

Sugar Magnolia
Dec. 30, 1985
Oakland Coliseum

Very aggressive transition into Sunshine Daydream, someone calls out 1, 2, 3, 4 and then bam. Worth the listen.

Great 90's version for sure, the one with the most votes, yes, but the BEST ever hardly.
Black Peter

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Great version, the bad cut in the SBD is hard to overlook, but give it a listen. Spring ’78 has some of the most impassioned singing by Garcia ever.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena

Very strong vocals by Weir, the middle jam is very long and the concluding vocals are exceptional, with Weir growling “My Lightning Too”, great version.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

By far the most fun ever captured on video, chech out the Pete Thownsend windmills during Truckin.
Brown Eyed Women

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Great Brown Eyen Women, vocals are sung with gusto and a great guitar run after “Drink down a bottle and you’re ready to kill” line. More songs from RPI should be on the list, it a GREAT show.
