Comes A Time
Touches your soul...
8
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Another great 1980 China> Rider, from one of the best Pre-Drum sets ever. Smokin’, Give it a listen.
3
Uncle John's Band
Interesting segue from He's Gone into this unfinished version that features some screaming Jerry leads before melting into drums.
1
Passenger
Crack> rising line drive -- outta here!
1
Feel Like A Stranger
Unique outro jam as they figure out how to segue into Comes A Time. Yep you read it right, bet you never thought those two would be paired
4
He's Gone
Jerry and Brent going off the rails in the outro jam and shifting major. Sounds more like an Eyes of the World jam with a slowed down shuffle.
3
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
The Saint is the real gem here. The build up right before the 'sure don't know..' verse is insane!
1
Not Fade Away
Rather surprising this hasn't been submitted, this show seeks a bit underrated in general. Garcia gets majorly vicious here.
