Civic Center

Blazin' hot smokeshow of syncopated bends, slides, and hammer ons that turns the intensity up to 11

Poplar Creek

Clarence Clemons sits in for the whole show and really is a great addition. They rock this Let It Rock better than anywhere else I have heard anywhere

Very strong throughout. Excellent Weir vocals. Garcia delivers.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

very good version but, for instance, 6-25-85 Cuyahoga Falls absolutely smokes it (after a slow start, it launches into the stratosphere and never quits)
Truckin'
June 30, 1984
Indianapolis Sports and Music Center

Way underrated. Smokes many a 70's version. Dig that outro descending turnaround jam thing toward the end.
One More Saturday Night

The Spectrum

tight and rockin' - underrated
One More Saturday Night

Barton Hall - Cornell University

Is there anything about 5-8-77, including this, that isn't over-rated? 12-9-25: I came across this a few years later and - while I would still argue the song is overrated - I like it a lot better now than I used to. It's an excellent version -- but perhaps there are a few more extant that are just a little bit more excellent?
Cumberland Blues

Berkeley Community Theatre

tore it to shreds like a locomotive chooglin on through the Smokies, black smoke trailin', underrated
