JGB version. One of the best by any Dead related entity. Jerry is hungry.

One of if not the best I've heard. Jerry rips the paints off the walls.

Not long or jammed to the hilt, but Jerry sounds really good here. Enjoyable version.

Excellent version. Jerry's crisp and alert. Can hang in most eras.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

One of the best versions of the slow arrangements I've ever heard. Played with strength and power by all.

Madison Square Garden

Show deserves a big listen as we draw closer to the release of the new box set. This is a magnificent early 1980s' show where literally every song cooks. This "Big River" is crazy good. Lightning fast riffs from Jerry, the dam really breaks on this one.

Miami Arena

This is indeed an extremely good "Big River." Bobby's vocals are spectacular.

This version is currently streaming in the new mix from the MSG box set that is coming out soon. It sounds fantastic. Jerry's lead lines are beautiful and his vocals are full of charisma. Easily one of the best "Althea"'s of all time.
