Pauley Pavilion

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

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.

Rotterdam Civic Hall

Can't believe I forgot to vote for this! Great playing, and one of my favorite Jerry licks in the post-"Headlight" verse. This whole show never disappoints.If you have 4 hours to drop into something top to bottom, give this a listen.

There's a matrix of this that I really enjoyed.
