Deal
March 15, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

It swings to a funky swagger; Jerry is in top form here. I think it's the best Deal from the spring '73 tour!

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

It struts & swaggers in that honey, country-tinged '73 way that we've come to relish & rely on. From one of the best shows from one of the best years.

DuPont Gym - MIT

A version all true heads should love, or at least hear once.

Monkey and the Engineer
Dec. 31, 1970
Winterland Arena

Jerry's sweet voice is extra sweet & clear during the chorus for this version than the ones from October, 1980.

Mason's Children
Jan. 24, 1970
Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Monster Mason's. Can't believe this one isn't here yeat. Cleanest, most coherent version. Jerry's guitar tone is pure gold.

hard-core funk-fest folks!
Althea

Best Althea of 1982 right here.
Throwing Stones
June 15, 1985
Greek Theater

^Agree that this is a great version. A great show too, although I'd vote 6/24, 60/30 & 10/31 over this one. 1985 is an inconsistent year for sure, but it's laden with a handful of excellent shows.
Cumberland Blues

Starlight Theatre

I voted!
Sugar Magnolia
Dec. 29, 1977
Winterland Arena

Sugar Magnolia was not played this night. It was played the following night on the 30th, following St. Stephen. Deadlists (the most reputable and reliable source going) does not list Sugar Magnolia for this date.
