Laid-back show opener...cool points for the transition into unusual

Thunderous! Everybody on point. Fierce weir vocals, crunchy lesh, Jerry rippin', kieth and the drum boyz pounding away

Very nice...Not the greatest of all time, but an average Dew from '77 is great enough in itself

Rarely a song I like, but this one stands out to me, probably because of Brent and Jerry, in that order

Wow. Mind-blowing. Brent seems to take 'Superstition' to a new level and Jerry and Phil are totally flyin' and rippin' and bombin' while the drummers stomp. Hardly noticed Weir but I'm sure he was great. WOW

So this one is pretty great, but I must disagree w/ best-ever...My fave is 7.15.84. Just a personal preference, but compare them and tell me yo disagree

Stunningly gorgeous. A lot of intense effort and focus and pure joy goes into this performance, and seemingly every performance of Europe '72.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Music Hall

Time for self-promotion...Sugar Mag->U.S. Blues->Sunshine Daydream...are you kidding me?!? Does it get any better?
