Jerry and Phil kill this encore version

Pauley Pavilion

An undiscovered 01? This one has huge, crazy peaks by Jerry at 4:25 and Jerry and Bobby at 8:05. Madness, fits and starts, like any great O1.

Curious this isn't on here yet. One of Jerry's best solos ever. Notes disappear into nothing, then the next one digs and bites. Remarkable feeling.

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

You know a great version of this tune by the first four or five notes of Jerry's solo and this doesn't disappoint. Phil supports beautifully.

Radio City Music Hall

Great version. Jerry's on fire in this whole set.
To Lay Me Down

Radio City Music Hall

Heavy, melancholy version, Jerry's voice especially. He really nails sweet lies and the crowd goes wild.
Brokedown Palace

Radio City Music Hall

That phrase that begins the second go-round in the solo, where it almost sounds distorted and then ends on a single, sharp note that just falls dead on the spot. Beautiful

Jerry uses the tremor and brokenness of his voice to beautiful effect
He's Gone
Sept. 26, 1972
Stanley Theatre

The interplay between Jerry and Bobby in the jam is fantastic
