Sweet and somewhat mellow, but not lacking punch. A hot version for sure

So intimate, so classic, so beautiful, Jerry's voice is so heart-breakingly gorgeous, and the picking is divine

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.

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