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

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.

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

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.

Jerry just decides to kill it in the last solo

Love the laid back feel and Jerry's wiry, ambling sound on 77 NMBs

Good lord. This jam will make you pause in the middle of household chores and forget what you were doing.

Miami Arena

The Dead deserve a lot of credit for being willing to play like this relatively late in their career when they were selling out major venues. Even if you're not tripping this DS will widen your pupils
