No real specific show recs but I’m planning on listening to Europe ‘72 for its 50th anniversary each day this year. Pretty excited even if it is a little repetitive

Not a bad idea! I would fail at that immensely but I like it.

i did a run through each show when the box set was released a few years ago, but don’t think I’ve listened to any of the individual shows, since. 50th anniversary is a great idea
Went out to move my “wife’s” car last night and this Shakedown was playing on XM. Funky stuff, whole show is pretty good from a year we don’t talk about very often on here.

'79 had some fantastic Shakedowns. The 12/5/79 version from Chicago is one of my favorites.

Funny, I started listening with that Charlie Miller tape. The vox were super clear but Jerry was super low in the mix to the point where I wasn’t sure he was playing during the verses of Jack Straw. There were also some audio quirks, so I switched to the Mason Taylor aud and thought it was better quality overall. YMMV

I made my judgement based off the first 3 mins of Shakedown so you very well may be right. going to give this show a spin after I finish Ike & Tina’s Nutbush City Limits album
I caught an early 80s ('80/'81) set that I want to say was from Philly when I was driving back from Tennessee. It still haunts me that I didn’t write down the date because that show ripped. I love late 70s/early 80s setlists. I recently became a big Samson & Delilah guy. Dave’s Pick’s 31 is great

a teammate on my pinball team recommended 5/25/74, which I gave a spin last night. its a great show!
Love this show. When I started to really dive into them this was one of the first recommended shows I listened to.

If you like high energy and absolutely rocking gd then this show delivers. Jerry’s playing is electrifying
