Fillmore West

Excellent stand-alone version, Jerry plays and sings a perfect tempo. Beautiful version, ethereal to say the least.

Black Peter

Civic Arena

Middle of the road show at best, but this Black Peter portrays a certain beautiful somber joy that just clicks along with the very slow tempo

Frankly, I was quite surprised upon seeing this one had yet to be posted. A seamless and absolutely sick version

Garcia plummets deep to the final climax, a fairly quick but power packed rendition

Sick, lighting quick, ferocious, and off the fricken' chain!
They Love Each Other

Dane County Coliseum

Freedom, check out 5/1/81. It's one of the best shows of 1981 and the entire Brent era.

Greek Theater - University of California

Cgarces, I agree this is a great song, and this version is especially good. I love when Garcia pulls a twist and adds a little JGB to the Grateful Dead sets.

Salt Palace

Emotive, and my favorite live version. Obviously, however, studio cant be beat.
