They Love Each Other
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

The first line of Jerry's solo, with the spaces and big intervals, is brilliant.
Playin' In The Band
April 14, 1982
Glenns Falls Civic Center

This goes into a very weird place that almost doesn't sound like the Dead, followed by one of the best pre-drums Bobby jams I've heard.

Jerry was killing this tune in 82.
Bird Song

Jerry chases down some very interesting themes starting at around 4:30

Incredible touch and feeling in Jerry's solo.
