Jerry's feeling it. Beautiful solo, intense jam with searching chromatic phrases.

They Love Each Other

Cumberland County Civic Center

Great Jerry solo. Love it when he starts it slow with the long spaces and odd accents.

Jerry means every note in this solo. Love the false harmonics and power chords.

Jerry's solo will wake you the fuck up with chills down your spine. Phil and Bobby are going for it too.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Boston Garden

Just when you think this is a throwaway tune it isn't. Jerry kills, kills, kills the solo. And sings.

Bird Song
Oct. 8, 1984
The Centrum

Damn, here I am commenting on this again?? This a sick, psychedelic Bird Song with Bobby leading the charge. Breaks down into pure space in multiple places. No wonder they didn't play Dark Star back then, they didn't need to.

Fantastic jam into The Other One. Phil is brilliant.
Ramble On Rose

Civic Center

Keith sounds amazing on this. Love the little lick he plays after "Just like Jack and Jill." One of the best versions I've heard

Scary jam demands that you pay attention. You can't run away from it.

Colt Park

So cool that they go into a loose jam out of this tune. Bobby is def playing Wang Dang Doodle.
