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

Hofheinz Pavilion

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

Winterland Arena

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

Slowish start, but the Fire is fire...April 78...not bad

Baltimore Civic Center

Just listened to this tonight and the death of Pigpen clearly still weighs heavily on the band, but they shrug the weight thru the joy of playing together and the memory of Pig...If you can't hear it, you might not be listening
Hell in a Bucket

Greek Theatre - University of California

Right on silverlight. Both pretty awesome versions for sure

Winterland Arena

Totally de facto...had never really given this one a solid listen...Glad I did. Came here to post it, and pleased to see it is already highly thought of cuz I really dug it. Crowd reaction after tells the tale. There's something different about this one

Auditorium Theatre

This has long been one of my faves...it is most definitely rip-roaring to the max...it never fails to pump me up
