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.

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.

Nassau Coliseum

Phil is doing something very far out on this, especially during Jerry's solo. Needs to be heard.

Bobby's playing and sound in the transition are great. Amusing that he goes into Jerry's "I wish I was..." verse. Jerry's chordal solo at the end is fantastic.

You have the feeling this is a monster version from the first downbeat and you're not wrong.

McNichols Arena

Very dense and dynamic. Great transition out of He's Gone

Phil is great as the comments say but Jerry is the one who is really feeling it in the jam.
