Good rendition, good energy in the early set of a VERY underrated mid/late-80's show

Funky little number, great Phil bass work and cozy leads from Jerry.

Boston Music Hall

Pretty absurd, honestly. So much raw power delivered and such a sneaky great Phil Lesh performance.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Phil's bass tone is captured so wonderfully

What a banger
He's Gone

McNichols Arena

The back end of this one is perfection; the jam into The Other One is transcendent.

This could've been the album version and I would've been thrilled. Jerry's solo is so pretty, the vocals are euphoric. The whole tune is just so, so daggone special.
