Not Fade Away
No Garcia Vocals, but he shreds the ending, one of the best late 70's versions.
16
Dancin' in the Streets
Jerry has laryngitis, so he speaks with his hands. Starts as a buttsweat dancefest. Long jam that eventually quiets to a whisper before wrapping up
4
Cassidy
The Rhythm Devils and Jerry come together nicely on this one
5
Mexicali Blues
Tingly, jingly, jangly bowls of Jerry noodles
9
Let It Grow
Let it Phil...Lesh and Jerry smash this one to pieces.
4
Around and Around
These always start as a slow burn - at the 4:15 mark Jer takes off to the races>then to cool down >to ripping boogie down close.

Jack Straw
Clear lines and great tone all 6 string work from Jerry this night. It flows nicely not crazy but really finely crafted work.
3
Me and My Uncle
Jerry tries some things that I have never heard in this song before, and it works.
1
El Paso
Intense dynamics and drama. Phil and Jerry are brilliant.
1
Promised Land
Burning hot.
