The overall show is just ok, but the 1st set opening sequence is worth checking out.

Yep, this one definitely should be closer to the top. Excellent version!
Desolation Row

Kaiser Convention Center

One of my favorites. Jerry teases "Auld Lang Syne" during his solo after the ". . .playing the electric violin on Desolation Row" lyric about mid way through the song. It's a really cool solo.
