Very strong outro jam. Jerry may have had shaky fingers but he really busted his ass to deliver here.

Jerry is absolutely dialed in, hot solo. Basically unknown show due to only AUDs avail.

Jerry in stunning voice. Tearjerker version

Really beautiful version, Jerry clearly emotionally invested in the delivery. Great playing too despite the year. Worth a listen.

Sick end jam, unbelievable distorted wah feedback jam from bob at the end

Legitimately upsetting to hear Jerry Phil and drummers ready to go into lazy lightning 5-10 times during this four minute jam. Sucks that Weir would do shit like this sometimes, IMO. Still enjoyable jam of course but would have been cool to get the LL.

There’s nothing better than this one. First one I heard and there isn’t anything out there that’ll ever exceed it. Sweet little 5 seconds of crowd before the intro that’s burned into my brain.

Very sweet version. Jerry’s vocals aren’t too hot (honestly prefer 84 to 86-87 for his voice) but this one is kind enough that I don’t care.

Really fantastic dynamic version. 76 never fails to spark a little joy for me

Probably better and definitely heavier than 6/19. Really underrated one.
