I was just wondering what some of your favorite live versions of Althea are, or what a good live version is.

I consider myself an Althea connoisseur, my favorites:
3/23/87<---probably my favorite above all, Garcias guitar work makes other Altheas feel like chickenshit
10/27/91
10/14/83
Rockpalast 81
I also really like the one in the vid I posted

The hands down best slide Weir ever played, and Jerry just builds up to peak after peak during the ending solo. The emotion from both of them is just dripping all over the floor on that one.Im interested in this version . . . but according to Deadbase X, Althea was played on ( 9/11/83; 10/14/83 and 10/18/83)
What's really neat about my copy of the tape is that, every time the boys hit yet another peak, the crowd clearly responds with a huge "whoo!" Really, I love Althea, but I've never heard another version like this one.
