Yep, this one definitely should be closer to the top. Excellent version!
Desolation Row

One of my favorites. Jerry teases "Auld Lang Syne" during his solo after the ". . .playing the electric violin on Desolation Row" lyric about mid way through the song. It's a really cool solo.

Jerry hits all the right notes, this is a nice version. Needs more love.

Lots of funny antics during this one. Worth a listen for the laughs. Lots of teases too. Mexican Hat Dance, Tico Tico, It's A Sin, Teddy Bear's Picnic. . .I am probably missing a few.
