Wow this version smokes, only an (Great) AUD recording is available, but Jerry is possessed, kinds of blows up at the end, but the middle jam rocks.

Not surprised this version is not listed, only an AUD recording is available, make sure you get the Space_Wharf Rat into, Phil is divine.

Great version there’s a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf4B-p3B3K0 During the jam the video focuses on Phil and he is clearly having a blast.

The bust out version, 1st one since the Melk Weg, what a run at the BCT. Give it a listen.

Long, long closing jam, major Phil bombs and fiery strumming by both Weir and Garcia, give it a listen. Road Trips No.1 Vol 1 Full Show.

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.

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.

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.
