Sure it's only a tease that's aborted for El Paso, but it's Veneta, so it has to be the best!

Melodic and intense, by far my favorite space melts into Stella. Very underrated show.

I think Augusta might be longer if you include the 2 min reprise before Dew.
Man Smart, Woman Smarter
July 22, 1984
Ventura County Fairgrounds

I kind of agree with @philrmonic that this is a song where a lot sound the same, but this is also my favorite of the bunch. This second set is inspired throughout (except Jerry's butchery of Terrapin...), and the guitar work here seems to have a little extra inspiration after a slick segue out of Brent's raunchy revival of Love To You. I've been listening to this show a lot recently, and it is really great. The SBD is fantastic and Hunter made a near perfect matrix out of it. Give it a roll if you haven't yet.

The second half of this version is nice (but nothing really "special"), but Jerry really does a hatchet job on the Lady With A Fan lyrics. No upvote, sorry, although this is in the middle of a fantastic set.
I Just Wanna Make Love To You

Ventura County Fairgrounds

This was a surprisingly complete version for being so off the cuff. There's even a tease in the first set after Loser.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

This is one of my favorites as well. There are many songs in this show that have a little extra energy.
