The most "Spanish-flavored" of LIG's, evokes old southwest almost Mariachi vibe. Brilliant Garcia changes-Rise&Fall!

Recent Road Trips release is a perfecto: Outstanding vocals from Jerry and a jam after the lyrics that grooves and rocks super-hard. 5-star version!

Jerry's voice just exactly bluesy perfect...groovy & slow acoustic cadence & the boys harmonizing sweetly on the chrouses. Outstanding early version

A+ for the crowd alone. Are there better ones? Of course. But I was there & the ecstacy after 14 years of no Box makes this version legendary.

Astonishingly strong Jerry vocals, especially given the year, and some of the prettiest Hornsby-led fills make this one a real great sleeper pick.

Please don't let this languish down here with 2 lousy votes. For crying out loud, this one comes in hot on the heels of Harpur College 5-2-70 in terms of tone and just pure JAM! There's no deviating space debris to sift through here, just Garcia ripping liquid riffs one after another in a long, flowing cascade that all gets power-packed into a tight 10 minutes of ecstatic OtherOne-ness. Listen Listen Listen and upvote if you agree, I'm beggin' ya!

For a song no one ever turns to for instrumental jamming there is, in this version, an extended instrumental bridge that'll make you think the Dead have turned into a mariachi band. Sweet stuff.

Sold after seeing it (again) during this year's 'Meet Up at the Movies' version. I've always maintained 5/1/81 as my favorite Deal but why quibble when this one delivers the goods SO good? Saw it live in '89 and seeing it again on film reaffirms it belongs at the top.

Saw this for the 2nd time last night at "Meet Up At the Movies." 2nd time b/c I was there for the now-legendary summer '89 Alpine run and now, having been reminded by the first-ever film airing of this show just how good it really was, I'm finally here to upvote as many versions from this show as deserve it (and there are many.) What's remarkable about this Dew is how well Jerry sings it (note especially his full commitment to the "young man" section), along with the shredding you've come to expect from superior Dews and the delicate touches in the quiet sections, which are evident and poignant in this version. Yes, good Dews are everywhere in nearly every era, but this version belongs in any Top 10 discussion. I just needed to see it again to jog the memory and, hopefully, get others to check it out again or even for the first time.

But there is such a thing as an ignored one. This version is far too good to be sitting so low on the ladder. This whole show, in fact, is underrated, probably due to its proximity to Ventura and overshadowed by the Europe tour, but c'mon. This is played with a perfect flow and ease and precision that's every bit as good as some of the '72's listed much higher. Give it a listen & show it some love.
