Best Loser you haven’t heard yet! Jerry takes the solo for an extra walk around the block! Required listening folks!

Jerry’s tone is just impeccable here! Moreover, Jerry adds a tad more umph to the soulful vocals. A standout of the era!

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Blazing version, but I nominated it primarily for its placement within the context of the tasty Playin'->Half-Step->Big River->Playin' sandwich.

Jerry's pipes never sounded sweeter, and Keith's barrel-house piano chops complements perfectly!

Best Althea of 1982 right here.
Throwing Stones

Greek Theater

^Agree that this is a great version. A great show too, although I'd vote 6/24, 60/30 & 10/31 over this one. 1985 is an inconsistent year for sure, but it's laden with a handful of excellent shows.

I voted!
Sugar Magnolia
Dec. 29, 1977
Winterland Arena

Sugar Magnolia was not played this night. It was played the following night on the 30th, following St. Stephen. Deadlists (the most reputable and reliable source going) does not list Sugar Magnolia for this date.
