Dark with stanky Jerry riffs over Bobby whammy work. Right in my wheelhouse but might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Whole band flexes their muscles on this one - press play and watch the room spin.

Rips hard and has a raunchy edge with DJ's excellent backup work. There a gazillion Jack Straws but this deserves a listen.

Jerry comes out and pounds the crowd to dust - sheesh.

That 10/29/77 rings a bell - I know I've heard it but can't recall it specifically - gonna go check it on your recommend Grendel. If it's anything like this one I am sure I will dig it.

'84 is underappreciated in my book too and this one is so damn darkly atmospheric and just a cool journey - Weir's work is especially interesting to me here all the way to the end. While not '84 check out 4/6/82 for a quick but FIERCE O1. that does not overstay it's welcome but gets to the point for the bash.
