4. 10/12/84
5. 7/4/84

If you're into the 80's at all, I guarantee you'll enjoy each and every one of these shows. Some great Shakedowns, China>Riders, Help>Slipknots and Wharf Rats.

I'm interested, esp for the Tiger guitar period, having spent so much time in '68-74.

I think I liked 4/20 with the great Scarlet > Fire best, but I forget most of those shows. probably time to jump back in ....

I'm full aware this year is full of uninspired, if not sloppy shows. Jerry was deep into the Persian, and his playing often
suffered.
Nonetheless, the good shows when the magic worked shine out even brighter, IMHO, and I've always been a 1984 fan.
See if the Wharf Rat from 11/2/84 doesn't shiver your timbers. Brent's B-3 playing is over the top.

I went through 12/31 on Saturday, and that's a pretty good show. the Baby Blue is one of my favorite performances of the 80's, and the Fire, while not a best ever type, gets an A+ for the heroic effort alone.

Had a listenable AUD copy of this forever and now there's a remaster/rework/digital modification that a few cats around here are so good at.
Great show, made better thanks to the hard work of folks round here.
Muchos Gracias
