Dark with stanky Jerry riffs over Bobby whammy work. Right in my wheelhouse but might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Whole band flexes their muscles on this one - press play and watch the room spin.

Lightning fast- I can only imagine the barkers that were carved backstage this night.

Somebody please listen to this combo and confirm to me that I am crazy - the CC is super sweet but the IKYR shows what a sneaky fast picking MOFO JG really could be - blows my mind. Whole recording is warm and full.

Check out the whole show - some real jems at this one worth spending time on IMO. Jerry was fully engaged to my ears and the band was locked in. Space will blow your mind if you're not careful too!

Jerry goes on multiple cosmic banjo styled jams during this CC transition.

That's a 10-4 Gman. Hey Darkstar and G check the 7/14/85 ignore the year and tell me what you think - every time I hear it love it more.
