Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.

Morning Dew

Fillmore East

One of my favourite versions -- tempo and dynamics are just right, which is more important than "shreddiness" to me when it comes to Dew. And as others have said, it's one that really benefits from Pig's organ filling the gaps in the soundscape.

Some funny banter after this one

One of the best of the tour IMO. Keith plays a phrase throughout that seems to suggest Little Richard's "The Girl Can't Help It," which Jerry then echoes closer to the end of the jam after Keith has stopped playing it...great stuff from an underrated show!
Ain't It Crazy (The Rub)

Love the brisk tempo for this one! Jerry's riffing has a real surf rock feel to it...

Yup...one of two shows on the tour that they split into three sets, 4/24 Dusseldorf being the other...
