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.

Garcia's voice actually sounds pretty good tonight, and he's clearly glad to be singing throughout this whole show.

Kick ass version and very little slide-town Bobby? Hell yes.

Silver Dollar Fair

Also, the feedback that happens after is a must hear. Very musical and has the pure crystalline quality of warm cosmic whale song.

A very good version. Everything before and after the atrocious sound in the middle of the set should be heard.
