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

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl, U.N.L.V.

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.

Charlotte Coliseum

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.

Sports Arena

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

Row Jimmy

Knickerbocker Arena

Great Ackerman/Miller aud that really puts you in the room. Last Row Jimmy, pretty damn beautiful and aching. It seemed like there was a lot the band and Jerry especially wanted to get out of this show. The Jimmy and Dew are probably its saving grace.

RFK Stadium

Great version here, slower than the others and jammy. Very enjoyable.
Morning Dew

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Exquisitely beautiful version. Not exceptionally unqiue mid solo or outro jam but definitely very strong. Jerry's voice was very fragile in 1980 and it sounds amazing here.

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Amazing version. Back when Iko was Aiko and it was really special. Melts out of space and back into one of the best Dews of the 80s. Groovy slow stoned-feeling version
Bird Song

Oxford Plains Speedway

Unreal version. Scary meltdown very reminiscent of the laguna seca Playin' from later that same month before a fantastic peak. There was magic every year!
