Jerry's sweet voice is extra sweet & clear during the chorus for this version than the ones from October, 1980.

Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Monster Mason's. Can't believe this one isn't here yeat. Cleanest, most coherent version. Jerry's guitar tone is pure gold.

Sandwiched between a dreamy Dark Star. Not the definitive version perhaps, but it belongs in the discussion.

Can believe this one isn't already here! A beautiful version from one of the top five shows ever played.

Near flawless version from a near flawless tour. The whole band is locked in on the home stretch here, and keith is hammerin' away on those ivories..

Jerry is at the helm here, with flurries of funky psychedelia. This one goes the distance….

Deserves more love.

There’s a great AUD recording of this show on the archive. I highly recommend. It’s very clear and Jerry sounds a tad high in the mix - a good thing here.

It’s all about the final solo. Get the matrix - one can really hear/feel the crowds appreciation.

A go-to version for the era.
