Exceptional jamming with a great solo from Weir. Jerry and Bob feed off each other the whole time. Unfortunately, tape cut ends it abruptly.

Springfield Civic Center

Miracle>>Shakedown. Mind-blowing smooth transition. Energized version, but really this one sticks out for the transition.

A shifted gear in the set sends this one up a notch, punchy and powerful emotive soloing.

Wicked dark star<dew, no question this is one of the best versions of the year. The range of sound is incredible They play as soft and as loud as they can and balance the song perfectly providing an absolutely perfect final crescendo.

Polished and ripping version from a great dicks pick.

Portland Memorial Coliseum

IMHO the song can't get much better then how they played it on this night. Whole show presents the band in top form and this rat is right up there with the truckin' as the highlights from the performance.
