Avalon Ballroom

From a painful whisper to pure lightening, an enveloping force of nature

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Oct. 13, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Dark, moody, and soulful. A searing guitar solo, a purely haunted version. An evocation of the deep unharnessed power that controls the fatal cycle.

Turn On Your Love Light

Boston Music Hall

Pulsing and free. Bill sounds like he has triple the arms. Pig sweats some blues, Garcia liquifies. Lock yourself in, strap up, and don't look back.

Paramount Theatre

Churns, plays itself out, factor playing. Energetic, smooth as smooth.

Might As Well

The energy is off the chain, this is my favorite. Great way to blow up the house.
The Music Never Stopped

Perfection
Tennessee Jed

Portland Memorial Coliseum

Yes! Absolutely this is sick. Smoking version, from a smoking show.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 7, 1989
JFK Stadium

This is one of the best versions I have ever heard. Jerry thunders through this with some incredibly explosive leads, and the whole band is there with him.
