Charged up with energy coming out of the hot Alabama opener. They really go after this one, and makes it stand out. Great stuff!

Loads of fun! Like versions from '79, it's an interesting hybrid version - the energy of 80's versions but minus the second solo. Still kicks, though!

I always liked the late-second-set placement of Bertha in the early Brent era. This one smokes - Brent's keys are fiery and Jerry destroys the solo.

I Need A Miracle

The menacing transition out of Black Peter is only matched by Bobby attacking the mic like a rabid dog. The post-drums/space of this show is killer.

Slow, haunting, and dramatic. Comes slithering out of Space like a wafting plume of smoke.

Civic Center

Great version of a goofy song that people take WAAAAAAY too seriously. It's meant to be dumb fun and nothing else, and BOY is this a fun one!

Olympic Center

Holy shit. This one goes on and on, and Jerry is WILD. Fantastic version.
Bertha

The Palladium

Laid back, well-played, and some excellent piano playing by Keith. This one may not have the tempo of classic versions, but it's TIGHT as hell.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Deer Creek Music Center

Hot hot hot! Everyone sounds great, and it's got a groove reminiscent of those classic 70's versions. Fun version from a strong show.
Feel Like A Stranger

State Fairgrounds

Really unique and jazzy jam - this song had a bunch of great versions in Maine (5/11/80, 10/12/84, and this one)
