Very nice solo from Jerry. Phil is all over this as well, some great melodic bass playing that compliments the song very well.

These early 70s Jack Straws have so much Charm. Silky smooth rendition full of grace and wonderful joyous interplay. Surprised this isn’t here yet.

“It’s polka time!” Shouts Bobby at the beginning of this one! Honored to submit this one. Absolute rager from an underrated show.

Stunning organ parts that take the song to a different level. Feels like I'm going down a lazy river without a care in the world.

Donna gave me chills on this one. Top tier standalone version. Just perfect, just letting the music play.

Groovin’ right out the gate. One of my favorite Bobby tunes played just right. A lot of shows have strong points as well as points in the show that don’t reach those same marks, but this show is ALL strong points. Such a great performance. Check out Jerry’s riffing on this as well!

Top 10 show for me. Locked in is an understatement. The feeling of knowing everybody’s little idiosyncrasies and feeding into that is a feeling that persists this entire show, such great pure energy, the band sounds happy and can do whatever the hell they want. They're ALL on. This Loser is beautiful and haunting, a mellow phenomenal groove.

Carrion sometimes I think we have the same brain when it comes to the Dead. I also have disregarded this show for a while only to realize how much energy it’s packed with and how creative this set actually is. I don’t know why I ignored it or didn’t give it a chance for so long, maybe because of all the high praise I hear, but after a listening session not too long ago this show quickly rose up in best ever. Phenomenal Morning Dew.

Moving and cathartic. Super underrated and deserves more love for its healing qualities alone.
