Hot one!! Brent lays down some nice stuff, Bobby’s slide is… a thing. Then Garcia puts in some work!

Weir insists it’s time for another cowboy song. “This one rose straight to the top of the charts, of course we didn’t do it” great, consistent one

Donna lets out the most insane scream I’ve ever heard and the crowd goes wild lol. Fun one with harmonica action

One of those “surprised not to see this here” moments. A short, less soaring one than many this period, but fun nonetheless

Sounds great. Another solid early 80s Althea. Jerry doesn’t reach much here, but that sort of lets the beauty of the song speak for itself.

I never particularly love in the early Brent era, when Jerry does these quick flutters. It always seems like he’s really saying something with the guitar when he’s playing. That’s why his style is so different. It always missed the mark with me when he did that jumbled flutter picking, though. It just kind of appears in the early Brent era and then happens again and again in many songs. Maybe the cocaine? Can’t put my finger on it really.
