Bouncy as they come, the crowd goes crazy and Jerry just sounds like he's having fun

C. C. Rider

Hampton Coliseum

Beefy C.C. Rider, Brent laying on the hammond, a listenable slide solo by Bobby, all tied together with some Phil Bombs

Out of Hell in a Bucket, this one is fueled by Brent dancing all over the Hammond. HIGH energy

Epic as ever. Jerry shred-fest, Bobby sending it on the vocals, Brent laying on the hammond. They bring it down before one more eruption to end it.

Jerry low in the mix but is ripping it up, Keith really shines in this one, doesn’t miss a note

You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Really tight version, both vocally and instrumentally. Jerry’s leads are sweeeet and straight outta Nashville
Not Fade Away
Dec. 31, 1990
Coliseum Arena

The boys were listening to each other this night. Bobby and Jerry trading licks with each other, Phil bumping out a solo

Philip Lesh. Nuff said
Loose Lucy
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

Whether a chugging rocker or a peppy funky jazzy version, this Loose Lucy might be my favorite ever. Jerry is growling out the vocals here

Keith's rhythmic playing on here shows he's got the quickest fingers east of the Mississippi during this show
