Only five minutes and Bobby messes up and only does the second verse, but Jerry tears his guitar a new one.

Top 20 version.
Looks Like Rain
Dec. 26, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

I know "LLR" gets a lot of hate for being schmaltzy and really, really bad lyrically, but this was the first Dead show I ever listened to in full and it was the song that most stood out to me. I had only known the psychedelic stuff with the weird lyrics and long jams, and didn't know they had simpler songs about more relatable human subjects. It opened my mind to seek out more angles of their music, so I'll always cherish this version.

Still nine votes somehow.
Nobody's Fault But Mine

Sports Arena

Great version, Jerry digs deep into the lyrics. Lot of personal resonance probably. Between this and the intensely rendered "Days," a pretty dark, heavy show.

Franklin County Airport

If the rest of the show were like this, it would be a classic. As ferocious as any.
