Berkeley Community Theater

For whatever reason, '86 was a strong year for this beautiful song. This one is flawless, and Jerry's vocals are A+

Jerry's '86 voice fits this song perfectly. This version will yank your heart strings.

This Summer ending show doesn't get much recognition, but I'll never forget ending that tour on this. Listening now it feels like yesterday.

Easily one of the best. High energy and A+ execution. A good version to quiet the naysayers!!
China Doll

Knickerbocker Arena

Seriously this is a very beautiful, emotional China Doll. A must listen
Terrapin Station
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena

Wow how is this not ranked in the Top 5? Amazing Terrapin here.
The Other One
July 25, 1972
Paramount Theater

The jam passage in the middle of this make it truly unique, and one of the best pieces of improvisational jamming during one of their strongest years. With hints of what sounds like the Weather Report intro and GDTRFB, St. Stephen and even Samson...it’s an amazing thing.
Bird Song
June 2, 1995
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Total brain-fry meltdown! Amazing gem from an admittedly rough year.
