Pauley Pavilion

The band is tight and Jerry doesn't miss a beat. Seems like he's surfing with his guitar lines.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Assembly Hall

I think Jerry's working ideas out in new places in the fretboard during the "China" solo, and Brent is contributing some interesting colors.

Nice slow shuffle, and Jerry's playing is quite melodic. But he brings the heat at the end (with some help from Keith).

Some nice playing from Jerry in the solos and transition.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Copps Coliseum

YMMV, but I disagree. There's a lot of stuff out there, and I find it just as valuable to read what people don't like as what they do. Plus, there's practically no lucid music criticism for this scene (read Relix or JamBase lately?). I like seeing (detailed) reasons why someone doesn't like something, especially something highly rated.

I'm a big Jerry fan as well, and this version is worth hearing if only for the liquid run at end.
