I have a new respect for TJ lately because of Jerry's long solo at the end. It's always different, and this is a cool one.

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Part of a great overall show at the Greek. I don't necessarily seek out SOF, but JG is on point on this one, both in his playing and vocals.

1981 is chock full of good Altheas, and this is one. A bunch of cool JG riffs - surprised this isn't listed. Solid show.

Really love early Brent era Stellas (‘79-82). Jerry is excellent throughout this show, and this Stella is no exception. Could be a tad longer though.

This entire show needs more love on here. Some cool Jerry guitar on this.

I'd say this is #3 behind 12.19.73 (#1) and 11.14.73 (#2). However, I think a case could be made for any of these 3 as #1. Such an awesome era in GD history.

Pretty sure '73 is the best year for Big River. 4/2, 7/1, 11/17, etc. all great.

Gotta be #2 behind 12.19.73 Tampa, as others have said. Fantastic.

Best I’ve heard. I think. Great shit though, without question.
