I know, I know you can't pick Ithica for everything, but this is one of the best versions ever.

Morning Dew
July 22, 1984
Ventura County Fairgrounds

Yeah this D>S is as hot as stated. This Dew is hot as well. Jerry is very proficient in the mid-song solo. It's a hot one. Also any Dew where there is fanning is hot on some level.

I guess it doesn't matter anyway. Extended lyrical sequence, I love when he did that. The band is channeling their '69 selves. No let up at all in this one, and Jerry crushes it in the 2nd solo. Heck the 1st as well.

Hampton Coliseum

Mickey's percussions, Healy's vocal experiments and especially the band's energy make this one very heady. It is one of the best of the year.
Might As Well
Oct. 11, 1984
Civic Center

This is a manic might as well. Great version on a tight night for the band as a whole.
Shakedown Street

Civic Center

Give me Oct 84 all day every day. This Shakedown was on, a down right dance hall jamfest. Jerry misses an entire bridge and it was still amazing. That was 84 for ya, awesome but not without somei warts
