BEAM! Very trippy. This show is just amazing. Get the SBDMC>DAT>CDR source.

Scary freaking version with ghosty Donna wails. Nice transition into a tear-jerking Wharf Rat.

Just exactly perfect version with crisp Jerry leads and Reading Rainbow tone on Brent's piano. Superior '83 playin'.

An expert rendition. Jerry is using his crispy Rosebud tone. The band is tight, and Jerry sings it beautifully. My favorite latter-era tune.

Music Hall

Hair-raising 1st set opener. Phil is all over his fretboard. A unique performance with a lot of thick piano work from Keith. Driving drummers!

The Other One

Freedom Hall

Miles Davis-esque funky jam at around the 12:00 min mark. Love it.

Very good, but I don't see how this beats 5/7/1977.

Newcastle City Hall

This is a fully dosed version of "The Other One." It took three gels. "Feelin' Groovy Jim" is the icing on the cake, but check out the total meltdown jam that rages before it.

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

This one is IT for me.

This one bursts right out of the gate. Great energy, but not rushed in any way. Jerry playing Lightning Bolt and Phil in his zone. Fantastic performance.
