Music plays Hornsby and band as all are on point and with abundance of energy.

Heading into May '77 on a high note. Extraordinarily locked-in with every member top-shelfing it.

Solid if unspecatcular until last line "Los Angeles, Norfolk..." where Garcia searing vocals then searing guitar! Lesh and crew raging also..

Interesting as sure sounds like violin. Jerry's tone sounds little bit like Robbie Robertson. Phil lots of heady goodness.

Rider with the kick drum a-thumpin'!
Not Fade Away

After a very good NFA. Missing a few seconds towards end but no prob as gorgeous vocal harmonies make this a beautiful rendition.
Candyman
July 7, 1981
Kansas City Municipal Auditorium Arena

'81 all kindz of great versions of various songs, and this too. Plus we get Bob stifling laughing in previous song Women Smarter.
Drums -> Space
July 16, 1988
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Love Olatundji's contributions, which maybe inspired Jerry as there's lightning space spiders emerging from his fingers.

Uptown Theater
