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.

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 has that super emphatic, dynamic and expressive tone in his picking, especially in the coda.

It's fun when things go so completely off the rails that Jerry is suddenly soloing on different changes and they sing the wrong lyrics on the wrong chords. Bobby fucks this up so much. Jerry is sharp though.

Love the melody Phil plays at the end. He just invents a new tune. Wish everyone played along with it some more.
Bird Song

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Jerry lays out crystal clear ideas in the jam, one after the other.

Brent sings this great and Jerry totally kills it
