Incredible. The jam after drums is one of the all time greats!
Black Peter

Louisiana State U

Outstanding version that ends with a flurry of tremolo picked Jerry notes. Comes out of a solid Terrapin as well
Playin' In The Band

I prefer this one to 8/6/74

^ absolutely agree that 5/1/81 is the best. That show is at the top of my official release wishlist, along with 9/12/81..
