Cumberland County Civic Center

Jerry takes a completely different approach to the jam, takes it way far out

Love how Jerry leaps from bluegrass riffs to blues bends in his early solos. At the end Bobby and Jerry are twisting and turning around each other.

Here's how great this one is: I had to listen to it twice and I still can't figure out what makes it great. But it is.

Uptempo version with Jerry on fire.

One of the great things about Jerry is his fuck it attitude when he forgets lyrics. Here he goes into an extended, unique solo. When he does sing there's an interesting sad quality to his voice. Coda is burning.

They sound happy to be back
Fire On The Mountain

Sphinx Theatre

Everyone sounds great here. Love the chromatic intro. This show is underrated because of the mythology of the Dead blowing the big ones. The first show was awful, the second one was bad, and this one was awesome.

A beautiful piece of music from beginning to end
