Feel Like A Stranger

Cumberland County Civic Center

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

Rec Hall, Penn State U

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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1980
Warfield Theater

Great Scarlet solo
Candyman
Oct. 14, 1980
Warfield Theater

Sorry to get technical, but the five notes Jerry plays in the second phrase of the solo are the sort of thing that kill me
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Oct. 13, 1980
Warfield Theater

LL isn't great but Supplication is burning, raging hot. Funny how they would do that. Bobby's playing is awesome. Also needs to be noted that Brent's organ playing is perfect for these tunes.
Not Fade Away
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

They take it way out and everyone is killing it. Specially Bobby. And Phil. And Jerry. And Keith. And Billy.
Estimated Prophet

The Sportatorium

This outro jam sounds great on headphones and in your living room but it probably never sounded better than wafting over a sea of VW buses in a pre-show parking lot circa 1991.
