Jerry works very hard to put this one over the top. Check out his last solo

They almost never got this song right, so it's no wonder they stopped playing it. This time they did. Bobby doesn't oversing, drummers are on it.

An intense, raucous version. Great vox by Bobby

Jerry really burns on this one. Surprised it's not yet posted

Civic Center

Jerry and Bobby Space, uncharacteristically grounded and coherent, leading into the best St. Stephen of the '83 revival

I recommend this mix for Phil: https://archive.org/details/gd79-04-22.sbd.bennett.12001.sbeok.shnf/gd79-04-22d3t04.shn

Phil and Jerry are really feeling it on Brent's first tune. You know it's going to be alright when you hear the first note Phil plays.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Leave it to the Dead to play one of the best ever versions of a tune after not playing it for years and before playing it about 10,000 more times.

Richmond Coliseum

This coda made me lose control of the car. And I wasn't even driving. Needs votes.
The Other One
Feb. 3, 1979
Market Square Arena

Best Other One of this era. Phil is out of his mind. Listen to him in the intro.
