Outstanding rendition, out of a massive truckin'. They take their time, and play a serene moonlight walking dirge.

New Minglewood Blues
Sept. 2, 1980
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Hard and fast way to start a show, and let the crowd know they are in for a thrill ride. Lace up your shoes this shows going be a rocker.
Let It Grow
Oct. 11, 1977
Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

Lesh drops some thunder and you have Garcia with some lighting quick leads, an all together cohesive and coherent jamming section for all members. The drummers play with the pace effectively. A great example of what they could do in terms of jamming when they were all on the same page. This is maybe my favorite version of the year

Wicked ryder, Jerry hits every note, and just shreds.
