Foxboro Stadium

Powerful stadium-sized blast of Dylan. This one just clicks along almost perfectly. Brent's B3 solo just rips...

Great LL Rain from my first show. Some "thunder" audio weirdness (Healy?) makes this one unique. Nice raindrop notes fom Jerry at the climax, too.

Nicely stretched out, mellow version from Summer '80. This one has some righteous peaks and I love Brent's B3 sound here.

Fillmore West

This is the one. Jerry shows what he learned from Janis vocally on this one. Just dripping with emotion.

This is just a monster version. The boys are finally clickin' on all cylinders on this scorching afternoon. Every member really shines.

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

RFK Stadium

This is a powerhouse version. The band was just smokin' 'em one after the other on this tour. Well jammed out, and with really committed guitar and vocal leads from Senor Garcia.
Midnight Hour

Fillmore West

I like this one too! Weir is a monster in the jam, whipping out lead lines alongside Jerry. Mountain Jam and China Cat hints lead back into a seamless reprise. Great stuff.

This is the prototypical one for me. I wore this tape out back in the day. Whatchoo kids know about XLII's?!
