Absolutely outstanding Garcia, a couple moments made my jaw drop

Nassau Coliseum

I dig this one, Garcia plays some longer, watery lines that get the job done in a satisfying way

Just listen to the Wolf--funky, dirty, sort of countrified--a unique and powerful version

Wang Dang Doodle
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

The AUD 103181 is a necessity for this show. I haven't checked the MTX mentioned above but that may do the trick also. The Dave Pick is neutered.
Comes A Time

The Palladium

I can't believe this is so low on the list
New Minglewood Blues
Oct. 28, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

It's pretty hot until Weir doesn't let Garcia play the last solo, and then sings "T right here in New York City!"

This is outrageous, Jerry goes around 8 times on the second solo. He might go around as many times in Buffalo, I know he plays that solo for a while. But the leads here are better!

The Palladium

A couple two three things: This is the best show of May This 1/2 Step is just as good as Boston, and the Big River that follows is better, so the combo is even better here than it is in Boston.... The second set rules
