Jam is exceptional. Love Bobby and Keith's chords jabbing and punctuating Jerry's lead

Sneaky version with great playing by Keith and Jerry. Love what Jerry plays at the end of the jam.

Sphinx Theatre

I know they should have played Dark Star in Egypt. But this is a fantastic EP. Dynamic, dramatic, Jerry on fire.

Huge, 18-minute version with great dynamics, deep vocals. Bobby's slide playing and interplay with Jerry are great.

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

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
April 12, 1982

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