Following one of the most powerful versions of The Other One ever, this Drums is on par with the rest of the best show of 1979. The goods!

Also, see 3/16/93... Beautiful Row Jimmy, following a scorching Jack Straw.

Was there. One of my favorite shows ever attended and hands down, my favorite version of Althea.

Many of you folks were not in Boston (or NYC), so you didn't experience what i did...The MSG version being the longest version ever does not make it the best. Just like a 46 minute Playin isn't the best. Hell, there are 10 minute versions from Europe that smoke that Seattle meandering. In the same vain, 10/14's running time should not persuade you. The emotional impact of 10/1 is very palpable through the soundboard, but nothing compares to being 3 rows off the floor and watching Jerry smile and dance in Boston. YMMV... And...just for a little reality check...look at the versions that 10/14 is being rated above!!! That's absurd and not based in reality!

Was at this show. Killer! Great setlist and played strongly. Love the short but oh so sweet Dark Star. Jerry's leads are beautiful, with that Cripe semi-acoustic sound.
