Nassau Coliseum

From the cold depths of 1982. Powerful, imaginative solo with surprising twists and turns. Listen to the matrix.

Jerry's playing is sharp as hell. Incredible sounding AUD for this show too.

One of the best solos I've heard on this tune. If you like your solos light on notes and heavy on feeling, listen up.

The intervals and touch and chromatic phrases in the solo are fantastic

It's baffling that Bobby would turn the beat around on a tune as rhythmically straightforward as this
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Manor Downs

The phrase Jerry plays in the transition at around 10:30 kills me, a searching little melody and its response with the volume pedal

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Beautiful searching, inquisitive solos, plus you get to hear Jerry telling us to get yourself a parking lot

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Jerry kills the middle solo and the interplay between him and Weir at the end is fantastic
Mexicali Blues

Nassau Coliseum

Brilliant contortions in the solo.
