Fox Theatre

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

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

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

Jerry kills the middle solo and the interplay between him and Weir at the end is fantastic
Mexicali Blues

Nassau Coliseum

Brilliant contortions in the solo.

The jam after Ship of Fools will make you go wait a minute, and replay it from the beginning.

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

I love it when Jerry plays angry. Check out the power chords. The Rango aud is incredible sounding.

Jerry sounds great in the first solo but this is all about Bobby's playing in the outro jam. Fuckin sick.
