Brilliant interplay between guitars. Convincing vox by Bobby.

You can hear Brent listen. Also love when Jerry switches to fingerpicking in the solo.

Park West Ski Resort

Jerry takes charge in the jam and doesn't put a foot wrong. Waits for the others before the peak. Deceptively profound version.

Patrick Gymnasium - University of Vermont

This is an insane version. Would be much higher if there was a SBD.
Estimated Prophet

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Great first solo and then everyone kills it in the jam, especially Bobby, Phil and Jerry
Ship of Fools
May 5, 1978
Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

When Jerry wasn't paying attention (for whatever reason), it manifested itself in dropped beats. What he does at the end of this tune is not good.

Really interesting what Jerry plays during the verses and Bob's approach to the intro.
Ramble On Rose

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Huge version has everything you need.
