Tivolis Koncertsal

Great Year, Great Tour, Great Show, Great Song. Tight as fuck version following a china cat tease.

Community War Memorial Auditorium

One of the tightest versions I have ever heard. I would place this towards the top. Jerry is in the zone, this really is a killer version. No lies.

They really bring the hammer down on this one. Tight and hot version, the drummers especially lead the breakdown into the witchita line perfectly

Definitely overlooked because of the monster that came the night after, but in fact this is a really hot version.

Winterland Arena

High energy Drums < Jam. The drums are awesome with some fantastic energy, but the real highlight is this unbelievable jam following the drums.

Paramount Theatre

A real solid version. Base-type, cut down, and simplified, still, funky and up-beat, bouncy, and clean, clean, clean.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
April 17, 1982
Hartford Civic Center

"For all you folks up back there who've been watching the back of our heads" sez the band just as the song starts. Great vocal performance, a powerful version. Nice call, love the first post, welcome to the site Musicphotos.
The Other One
Dec. 29, 1968
Gulfstream Park Race Track

Explorations and voyages to the craters of time, dark mad primal energy. The origin of it all, creation, the apotheosis of psychedelic sweat-acid drenched ferocity. From Lesh to Jerry to Drums,a tenacious dark interplay is at work. Locked in jamming, an acid madhouse.
The Eleven
Dec. 29, 1968
Gulfstream Park Race Track

Liquid, dark raw free and flowing cascade of notes, ducking and skipping with loose ferocity and coherent imaginations, collectively interplaying to the rhythm of the times, pure fire and brimstone jamming. Metallic shimmering silver rimmed notes bouncing of one another, stringing together, freely separating and dispersing through the air-zone. Lesh with a mad tone, Garcia with an electrician's touch, rolling lightning bolts from the cloud's themselves. Dropping entire torrents of tsunami level flow, seguing into a Kreutzman and Hart tribal encore, only to continue the psychedelic acid bath.
Althea
Aug. 16, 1980
Mississippi River Festival

Strong, durable, concise, dexterous filling, interplay between Brent/Jerry/Phil/Bob is contagiously smokey and gripping. Good vocals, little flub in the beginning, but nothing major, a damn cool version, smooth as the Mississippi river on a warm August day.
