Jerry's guitar is thin but flies through the fretboard and extends final jam by a solid 45-60 seconds

Jerry plays the most beautiful licks throughout this ending
Jack Straw

Winterland Arena

I give this one a slight edge over 10/22 because the first time I ever heard this Jack Straw was the first time I realized how bad ass the song can get

Winterland Arena

Jerry goes full pop-rock -not much noodling, mostly repetitive riffing...same style utilized in Jack Straw, OMSN and US Blues from this show and I love it. Hard rock Garcia is bad ass!

Uptown Theatre

Jerry shows off how quick he can hit notes during Scarlet mid song jam and pretty exiting stuff during > into a short but exciting Fire featuring a little high energy Jer fanning at the end.
