New Minglewood Blues

Fox Theatre

One of the best versions of this era. Jerry is loose and free. Bobby plays a great slide solo (really).

Boutwell Auditorium

The transition jam is longer than previous versions and many later ones, and Jerry goes somewhere in it. That should have happened more.

Jai-Alai Fronton

One of my favorite EPs. Can't believe it's not on here yet. Jam is fantastic, with Phil leading the way. Huge ideas and imagination.

Great jam covering a lot of ground, Phil pushing and pulling patiently, Jerry attacking.

Jerry's last solo is outrageous and the drummers respond

Heavy, experimental, intense version. Going into El Paso is brilliant.

Jam is great. Listen to Phil toward the end.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 27, 1986
Cumberland County Civic Center

This is a great China Rider. Listen to the outrageous moments in the transition, especially between Jerry and Brent.
Bird Song
March 21, 1986
Hampton Coliseum

A bright light from a dark time. LagerandGos is right. Jerry is sharp, Bobby is brilliant.
Let It Grow

Oakland Coliseum

Slamming version
