Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

Massive Attack by the entire band from 3:30 - 5:30 - sneakers in the dryer and all.

Brown Eyed Women

Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

2 Drummer breakbeat attack with Phil throwing down the rope a dope and Jer firing darts - this one's lively.

Mexicali Blues

The Spectrum

Admittedly not a favorite tune for me but this is super crispy - laconic delivery by Weir w/ Jer's picking and tone perfection. Whole show is massive.

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

The Other One
March 14, 1981
Hartford Civic Center

What is it about Hartford and this reference? Jerry plays Bach’s Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring in Space on 10/15/84 as well. Played it again later this same month in Berkeley.
Franklin's Tower

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

No brainer! Take a listen and vote your conciousness….
Eyes Of The World
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Up tempo wonderful Eyes that has everything great about ‘78 inside, GRobbers right about the janky strumming but I absolutely love whenever Jerry does this throughout the years and love this little interlude too, also I think that’s Donna with a perfectly placed Wheew! On the last verse. Bobby, Phil, Billy, Mick all laying the foundation for Jerry to soar. So worth a listen!
Not Fade Away
May 14, 1970
Merramec Community College

JG back on the SG never fails. 70-71 NFAs blaze the hottest and are my personal taste. Dangerous garage band jammin’ imo - still don’t understand how 4/28/71 is not in the top 10.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 18, 1978
Civic Arena

Criminally low for another killer ‘78 spin on this classic.
