Only a few months old but an early passionate outro to this one.

Had to check myself a few times when I didn't see this one under the date. Listen and vote!

This isn't on DP 31 but it should have been. Has some swag yet super low on the list. What gives? I have heard a ton of these. If it makes me stop and come on HV to vote than surely I would see it close to the top. I was wrong. Give a listen.

I am not the biggest fan of Brent songs or placement in the setlist but this caught my attention. Some of Jerry's soloing doesn't even sound like him. Has some bluesy Clapton sounds. I have been listening to complete shows as of late which I believe is the best way to get the overall feel for a show and the highlights will stand out on their own. This whole show is just great all around. A good snapshot of 1984. Jerry sounds great but it's just too bad his health was as bad as it was getting.

Jerry is just speaking a little differently with that guitar on this one. Beautiful work. Love those few notes he repeats before "Rio Grandeo". Gets my vote for best of 73 until further notice.

I've been waiting for days to upvote this because apparently the server was down but anyway a beautiful version and an outro like I have not heard before. Felt like the closing number to a movie or play.
