This is when I thought the show locked in.

Reno Centennial Coliseum

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

A must-hear show for fans of any era.

Set I is phenomenal stuff, set II is somehow even more intense, more psychedelic.
Death Don't Have No Mercy

Avalon Ballroom

Love me some Jerry blues. Does not disappoint!
The Eleven

Avalon Ballroom

This whole first set is better than what other bands can cobble together on a whole tour.

Avalon Ballroom

These Stephen's have an energy unmatched in later eras. While serves as a respite of sorts between the DS and Eleven, the energy level remains off the charts.
