A must listen for 'Carnival MIDI' GD fans. The jam is very cluttered - going to either love it or hate it

Very intense finale in Rider

Exceptional version from an underrated tour.

Reminds me a lot of 6/4 and 6/25/78 versions - for that alone I've gotta up vote it. It lacks psychedelia but makes up for it with intensity.

Despite having no connections to twin cities I'm a Gopher NCAA hoops/football supporter so i'm a little biased with Twin City shows(Don't think it's a coincidence first Jack Sraw came out of MPLS). I recall really digging this show(not quite as much as 5/11/77) I really need to hear the upgraded source....which I just found :)

Not huge on '85 Straws but this one is really tight and intense. The 'thing' that is heard after 'by the morning light' is very one of a kind and awesome.
