Garcia's leads are like lightning...Bob pleads for no more rain while thunder and lightning flood the P.A. and the crowd goes wild

Great Deal from a great show and a great tour. I love Fall 1983

I’ve been listening to PITB heavily again. I prefer the 72-74 versions. But this one is the rare post 74 versions I really like. Played along with this one on my guitar and I really appreciate the space they fall into right before drums takes over. Wonderful version and you forget what year it is!

Yes, this has some spirit.
Estimated Prophet
Nov. 13, 1987
Long Beach Arena

I think 1987 is generally a tame year as Garcia and the band find their footing after the previous year. This Estimated is not tame though; it has rage and energy bubbling beneath the surface trickling out little by little and then exploding in a hot jam and Weir screaming down thunder and lightning from Mt. Sinai. Very interesting and hot Estimated Prophet.
Don't Need Love

Cal Expo

This is my favorite of the few performed. Not technically perfect, but it has a spirit and soul, especially out of the surprisingly hot jam from He's Gone and its spirited outro.
