Easily one of the best from 1972.

Overlooked show. This is still 1972 and the band still kicks butt. It's not just all about Europe.

Beautif vocals. Well played. If you're distracted, this will still make you bob your head.

Johnny B. Goode
Nov. 30, 1980
Fox Theatre

Totally overrated. There are plenty of versions from 1973 that are better than this. Jerry really isn't shredding and Bret's keyboard work isn't all that, when you compare it to the rock & roll piano Keith used to play. Over - Rated. Over - Rated!
Picasso Moon
May 15, 1993
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

The highs at the Silver Bowl on Friday and Saturday were 117 degrees. Come Sunday, people were just sick of it - including Jerry. On Sunday, he had this really big fan in front of him. The band walks on stage and Jerry is wearing white shorts. They get into Picasso Moon to open and right before the instrumental jam, that huge fan blows off Jerry's hair tie. He's standing there, wearing white shorts and his hair is being blown straight out of the back of his head. If you were there, you experienced what was probably the most embarrassing situation Jerry ever faced on stage.

Every Jerry Garcia Band version of Deal from 1989 through 1992 is better than this.
