Box of Rain usually pales in comparison to the studio version but this is great rendition from a excellent show

Raw and intense. Perfectly jammed out just an epic dew. Near the top of 69' in terms of the song

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.

Winterland Arena

This version is a fuckin' smoker. Definitely a highlight of a great show.
They Love Each Other

Huntington Civic Center

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

Broome County Arena

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.
