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

The Music Never Stopped
Aug. 23, 1980
Alpine Valley Music Theater

Very solid version. Pleasantly surprised me, which is why I keep coming back. Turn it up and rock it out. The crowd knows a homerun when they see it!
Jack Straw
June 25, 1985
Blossom Music Center

I don't think this is the best Jack Straw of the year, or the decade. But it is a good 1985 straw with the kind of energy you'd expect in that year: sizzling.
The Music Never Stopped
June 9, 1977
Winterland Arena

Much better than 5/9/77's Music. This is raw power right here.
Sugaree
March 25, 1985
Springfield Civic Center

Jerry gets transfixed by his triplett solo and can't stop and the crowd roar gets higher and higher. Rough but on fire. The smell of burning plastic right here.
Walking Blues
March 24, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

The first one I fell in love with. This sets the standard.
