Lots of submissions from this show. 2 well-played sets - this is my favorite Stagger Lee, not sure exactly why it just has IT.

This one gets up here for Brent's creativity during the Jam. UJB sandwich 2nd set is sweet.

After an incredible opening jam the Dead pull off a very nearly flawless rendition.

The bridge to Rider is beautiful in any era. The band was feeling it in Alpine.

Iowa State Fairgrounds

One of my favorite shows ever. Ned Lagin performs and adds some weirdness which may have helped to send the Dead into the nether regions and beyond here.

Love the jam here. I always needed the closure of a reprise.
