Sandwiched between a dreamy Dark Star. Not the definitive version perhaps, but it belongs in the discussion.

Can believe this one isn't already here! A beautiful version from one of the top five shows ever played.

Near flawless version from a near flawless tour. The whole band is locked in on the home stretch here, and keith is hammerin' away on those ivories..

Tight, inspired, rockin'. Best of the Euro '72 run. Give it some love, folks!

One knows from Jerry's opening vocals "cost a lot to win" sung with extra twang, that it's gonna be rockin' with that good county, funky vibe.

Best Althea of 1982 right here.

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.

I voted!
Sugar Magnolia

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.
