Blistering encore. One of the fastest and hottest I've ever heard. I think I just wet my pants!!!

These early versions, Jerry has some problems remembering when to sing the right lyrics.

A good example of how the shorter Pigpen tunes can still be really good.

Simple Twist Of Fate
March 1, 1980
Capitol Theatre

Passionate and intense. If this was Jerry playing it with the Dead, people would love it.
Cold Rain and Snow

Augusta Civic Center

I don't get it. The pace is sluggish, the guitar work uninspired. Yeah, they get into the final singalong, but overall this being the best one they ever played?

It sounds like the band is going to kill the song early, but Jerry and Keith push on to a rockin' finish.

Berkeley Community Theater

Bad idea.
