Jerry screws up the lyrics on Lady With a Fan, but overall this is a pretty good version. The outro jam is pretty unique also.

From GarciaLive 1. Very funky with very good vocals from Jerry. Give it a listen!

Not a very special version, but has some good vocals. Not too rushed either.

It was very rare for the Dead to play a slow River in the 80s, but this is almost ‘74 speed! Love it!

Great version of Day Job coming out of the quintessential Hell in a Bucket. This song has an early Beatles vibe that I really dig.

Really love the opening jam on this one. Has a ‘74 like jam, and it goes on for around 8 minutes before the singing starts. Goes into a very good Let it Grow

79 Terrapins are the best. Jerry’s vocals combined with the slow pace they often played it at this year makes for an great experience. Like an old man telling a compelling story

Civic Center

Very upbeat and punchy version. Sounds very good on the most recent Dave’s from a few months ago
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Boston Music Hall

Really great Help>Skip!>Franklins. The Tobin matrix is insane in sound quality. The Slipknot! is very jazzy, with Keith adding a lot to the version. Comparable to the 6/19 version as far as spaceyness goes. Very good versions of these tunes

Probably the cleanest acoustic version I’ve heard. Nice aud of this show. Give it a listen!
