Shakedown-Very interesting jazzy version after the vocals, relaxed pace and Brent and Jerry working off each other perfectly. Don't East and Music in the 2nd set is noteworthy.

Steve come on mang....Don't Ease...U.S....are they a possible "highlight"? Your kiddin'. Oh...sarcasm...I get it, sorry I'm slow.

This has definitely become one of my favorite shows. Just unbelievable. Jerry is a monster. The Music Never Stops in the middle of a set was a great surprise.

The Zoo is quite an ironic name for a show of this stature. I'm sure people were just dancin from walll to wall.

One of my first shows; saw two more at the Zoo. Great venue to see the Dead (years later saw a Phil/Dylan double bill there and Bobby showed up).

Energetic show! Highlight IMO is the top notch Althea. The jam after "This space is getting hot" is so killer that Jerry gets a bit lost in it and forgets the words:

"Nobody mess... was ... sign..."

Of course jerry makes up for it with a super hot outro lead. Must hear! competes with the March versions :)
