This one is just ridiculously good. Jerry's solo is fantastic, and the band is on all the way through.

Another one of those "not sure why it's" great versions. The Philly crowd singalong is great too!

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.
