Love Jerry’s guitar tone on this. Part of a great set 1. For anyone who thinks all 86 shows suck - check set 1 2/14/86.

Kind of a mellow version with a great Jerry solo at the end. This is the thing I love about T Jed - Jerry's last solo is long and always different.

Gritty barnyard funk. Great and somewhat overlooked show.

Love early 80s versions of LLR. This one does not disappoint!

JG rocks this. Fozzy Bear voice and all :) Speaking of that, I notice that his voice gets this Fozzy Bearish quality around Summer '84, then lasts through '86. '85 is peak Fozzy. Around Fall '84 is when he started gaining noticeable weight too, so I think there's a correlation. Great show though.

Jerry’s big solo in Loser is one of my very favorite parts of the Grateful Dead lexicon, and this is a great example of him nailing it. Sizzling heat!
