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.

Oh man, I can't believe I haven't listened to this DP yet! Stellar stuff, my favorite stand alone version.

We need to get this fixed. It's been submitted a bunch of times and others have voted for others of those. This one should have like 16 votes.

Hell yes! nice punctuations from Mickey, Cooks for a while then Jerry takes off. Quite funky. Massive peak. Melting transition into >

Bobby really stands out here (both with his rhythm work and vocals). Band is very tight. Jerry floats over the first solo with gossamer. Also gets pretty trippy at the end.
