Providence Civic Center

Awesome version. Listen to Jerry from the start and especially his solo (and Phil). This spring tour comes to life right here.

Jerry is very, very sharp on this. Except for the lyrics.

Amazing Bobby/Phil jam at the end of this one.

Let It Grow

Bombs is right. Worth listening to for what Phil does to the jam.
They Love Each Other
July 19, 1990
Deer Creek Music Center

Agree with Johnny that Jerry plays a great solo here. He takes a very unusual approach, focuses hard, and breaks new ground.
Dire Wolf
Oct. 19, 1974
Winterland Arena

Love the slow arrangement of this tune. The second phrase in Jerry's first solo (what other commenters are identifying as Crazy Fingerish) is monumental and heartbreaking.
Loose Lucy
Oct. 19, 1974
Winterland Arena

Pre-break versions are so much better than the lumbering, dreary 90s ones. Phil and Billy sound so good here, and Jerry's solo is spacy and loose.
Samson and Delilah
July 8, 1990
Three Rivers Stadium

Jerry is particularly sharp here. Plus the drummers don't fuck up the end.
