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

Love the ethereal sound that every single recording from this run of shows has. Not sure what caused it but it gives every song played from oct 16-20 1974 a little extra prettiness and this Peggy o is no exception

Lovely version. Believe last time Jerry played it with the Dead. Played after Heaven Help/Sage and Spirit as Phil’s bass was still broken lol

Hot version! Wise AUD sounds awesome. They really pulled out all the stops on this final night.

The way it starts out of Jack Straw is interesting and melodic almost. Love this one.

Holy SHIT! The massive peak is unbelievable - the way the band climbs into it is absolutely crazy. It's really two peaks, a small first one and a MASSIVE second one right after. Can't say enough good stuff about this version. The Rolfe aud is fantastic for heavy duty crowd energy.
