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

The freakin harmonies on this one I miss that trio singing Euro 72 style. Back when Phil could sing that high

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

This song showed how much diversity the Dead had in their playing. I really like the losseness of these early versions.

Wow. This one is amazing. Jerry and Brent had the interplay dialed-in on the Shakedown's to start out in '82. This version is a must hear.

Jerry is dialed into shred mode for this show. He shreds off a fantastic end jam here.
