Listen to Phil on this one. Then listen to Bobby.

Morning Dew

The Fox theater

OK, I'll say it: "I can't believe this isn't on here." Majestic, powerful MD. Jerry on a mission. Bobby playing clippety-cloppety sounds in the coda.

Civic Arena

Jerry sinks his teeth into this jam. A wonder to behold.

Irvine Meadows

Arguably the version in which Bobby forgot the fewest lyrics. Also great, imaginative playing by Jerry throughout.

Man Smart, Woman Smarter

Civic Center

From the cold depths of 1985 comes a truly great MSWS. Drums are tight, Phil and Bobby sound great, and Jerry repeatedly comes up with gold.

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
April 14, 1982
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.
They Love Each Other

Glenns Falls Civic Center

Jerry was killing this tune in 82.
Bird Song
April 12, 1982
Nassau Coliseum

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

Incredible touch and feeling in Jerry's solo.
