Start with these Gimme Some Lovin' versions
Best first listen: July 17, 1989 · Alpine Valley Music Theatre · East Troy, WI, US
Alpine on 7/17 is broad, open, and surprisingly elegant for a big outdoor 1989 show. The encore sequence and We Bid You Goodnight coda give it a distinctive afterglow.
Another strong choice: July 2, 1988 · Oxford Plains Speedway · Oxford, ME, US
This was the first night of the Grateful Dead's two-show Oxford Plains Speedway stand, with Little Feat opening and the weekend later prompting Oxford to impose local crowd limits after traffic and crowd issues. Public audio also circulates for the exact date on Archive and Relisten.
Another strong choice: June 30, 1985 · Merriweather Post Pavilion · Columbia, MD, US
Merriweather has the big-summer energy people chase in 1985, and the second set moves fast without sounding rushed. It is a strong recommendation for listeners who want dense transitions and a crowd-pleasing finish.
First catalog performance: November 2, 1984 · Berkeley Community Theater · Berkeley, CA, US
Last catalog performance: September 15, 1990 · Madison Square Garden · New York, NY, US
