Ramble On Rose

Nassau Coliseum

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.

Jerry unleashes an incredible torrent of notes with about a minute to go in this one. Beautiful opening as well.

They play this like a super-swung Ramble On Rose!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

In addition to everything already mentioned, Jerry’s vocals on Rider are incredible! Sounding like 1970 at times.
