Outrageous version. Takes a second to get the mix dialed in, but man they blow the roof off. This has to be one of the best Wall of Sound shows.

Dick's Picks 22 anyone?? 68 tone is honestly incredible, and this is a perfect example

Grate version... listen carefully at the beginning you can hear Jerry yell "put your acid in!"

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

This version is absolutely massive and criminally underrated. One of the best Jeds they ever played. This is one of the best shows ever.

Easily the best version out there, maybe 11/30/73 comes close...
Brown Eyed Women

Barton Hall - Cornell University

This is definitely the best 77 version, I don't think any others even come close (yes, even Hartford pales in comparison). But I've always been a fan of the earlier versions of this tune, 11/20/73 and 6/26/74 are great
Viola Lee Blues
Feb. 14, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

They did not play Viola Lee Blues on this date
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
June 14, 1976
Beacon Theatre

I've always thought this was one of the best of this sequence of tunes
