Give it a listen. Actually think its better than all the great 1977 versions.

This show is one of the best and this UJB can hang with any. One of my favorite versions.

This one absolutely cooks out of Nobody's fault. Off Road Trips.

I know its listed as Dark Star, but its a true MLBJ. Great country twang to it.

This version is great too. Jerry gives a little more at end.

Probably one of the greatest shows, but for some odd reason....doesn't get much hype. The set list is like a greatest hits and it is all played really well.

Yeah, the transition is sickleberry....Jerry has unique riff as Bob noodles NFA until it's a full blown NFA. Thanks, brah. With that being said...a cool jam occurs half way thru and this becomes one sweet NFA. Cajun vibe and all. Nothing like I have ever heard....sweet sweet call.

My brah darkstar67 recommended this. This version has some serious expressive Jerry vocals like its the first time singing the song. The outro ain't Winterland Oct. 78, but its gorgeous and has this cool vibe as Bob pushes NFA. Killer segue. Hey DS67....you doing dead and co Alpine?

The segment of Terrapin>D>O1>Space>Stephen>NFA is some of the tastiest stuff in GD history. Also known as Disc 3.
