First set opener, I really dig the MDs os this era. Still kind of sturdy and brisk but becoming the majestic ballad that it was in the 70s/80s.

This is an all-timer, I say...Garcia plays like a trumpet here, pre-midi...

You're kidding me, right? This isn't here?! It's good!

Garcia!!!

This is fantastic and should receive votes! On Download Series 7. Garcia's guitar is REALLY loud on the solo!

This is superb, and believe it or not it's the highlight of pre-drums! Jerry is on, and there's a space jam at the end!

I find this to be an excellent version, seems to be underrated. MIDI era and that's cool here, Jerry always plays great stuff on this

The ever-important 3rd lead in full effect

OK just skip reading this if it's too long. Here are claims I think are true, and then my personal (current) take. This is the case for why this is the best show of the year. Mississippi Half-Step--CLAIM: contender for best pre-hiatus MY CURRENT EVALUATION: best pre-hiatus, but tentative and willing to be shown a better one Black Throated Wind--CLAIM: one of the best of era (Garcia!) MY CURRENT EVALUATION: not quite the best of the era (Weir!) China Cat Sunflower >I Know You Rider-- CLAIM/MY CURRENT EVALUATION: one of the best of all time Loser--CLAIM/MY CURRENT EVALUATION: one of the best of the era WRS CLAIMMY CURRENT EVALUATION: one of the best all time, with as good a claim on #1 as any Stella Blue: CLAIM: one of the best pre-hiatus MY CURRENT EVALUATION: the best pre-hiatus Me And My Uncle CLAIM: one of the best of all time MY CURRENT EVALUATION: best of all time Not Fade Away CLAIM/MY CURRENT EVALUATION: best of all time Dark Star CLAIM: one of the best of all time MY CURRENT EVALUATION: best of 1974, but it's a tight race Morning Dew CLAIM: one of the best of all time MY CURRENT EVALUATION: best pre-hiatus version

Yeah it's cool, they all are, but maybe a little sleepy
