Beautiful version from a totally unheralded show. Jerry's impassioned vocals in the verses blew me away.

Spacey, LONG, jam. There's a video, and you can see Bob smiling as Jerry somehow nails the last climax of the jam and they slam into the chorus.

Hot version - Jerry's guitar tone is thicker than it was in 94, he's totally present and playing some of those added riffs like in 10/12/83.

Lots of very under the radar shows in 82. This version is perfectly executed from start to finish - great end jam with huge finish.

Pretty hot version. Nice mid solo and shreddy outro that heads into a spacey jam. Great vince contributions and Jerry firing on all cylinders

God i love Donna. Phil sounds great too. People shit on him but that “long long time to be THEEEEEERE” is beautiful.

Pretty hot version with nice Jerry licks and harmonies and bob giving it his all. Shining moment of this first set for sure.

I listen to this one a lot. If there's a more deep and soulful version (and show, tbh) i don't wanna hear it.

This one needs some more love, fantastic outro with great Phil vocals, you can hear the crowd go crazy on any of the auds every time he chimes in on "across the lazy river". First one in 3 years and whole band really brings it

Super lovely. Weir's playing is tolerable and the vibes are immaculate overall
