It's not the gnarly 15+ minute versions it would be in later years, but there's something special about these early versions. Sweet/joyful sugareeee

i've heard a lot of negative comments because jerry screwed the beginning line, I almost think that makes it cooler! adds/ marks personality on such an amazing show!

The audience reaction is insane, good latter version for sure. I'm not nearly much of an 80's Dead guy, but this is really something. Jerry just playing his soul out

looks like we've been listening to the same array of shows lately, just based on our submissions/comments. good stuff bud, this version was smokin' indeed. Btw, that rotterdam dark star... woah man, wasn't ready for that man.
