Soulful and heartfelt. Version is marred by nasty cut, but is still one of the best ever.

After repeated listenings this Dark Star has started to sound masterful. Mind-blowing interplay between Keith, Jerry, and Phil, advanced exploration

Super emotional solo, and intense powerful leads, make this my favorite pre 76' Deal

Each piece is played to masterful heights. Pretty damn good version for 84' coasts into a rocking jack straw

Friend of the Devil
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

Do they nail the vocals or what! So soulful, Jerry's voice is absolutely perfect in this. Each note has a powerful resonance, they play each break well, and there is no lagging. Excellent version.

This version is a fuckin' smoker. Definitely a highlight of a great show.

yes, check out this solo. Somebody splash some water on Garcia, he is on fire.
Me and My Uncle

Smokin' version. Check out the disco beat they put on this Explosive Mexcali > M&MU
Sugaree
Sept. 2, 1980
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Jerry just falls into a perfect groove and keeps it going for a long time. The crowd goes nuts, and he just keeps fanning. Vocals are on point throughout, and the drummers keep up. Lesh and Weir are in stride, but Jerry keeps this up at a full sprint. Showering a beautiful array of licks, and solos. One of the best ever.
