Check out Jerry's second solo

Brown Eyed Women
July 7, 1984
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

In this notoriously shaky year there are often gems to be found among the train wreckage. This BEW is an example. Jerry's solo is spot on

Hartford Civic Center

They almost never got this song right, so it's no wonder they stopped playing it. This time they did. Bobby doesn't oversing, drummers are on it.

Dark Star

Roosevelt Stadium

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

Providence Civic Center

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
Dec. 31, 1985
Oakland Coliseum

Slamming version
