Jerry's solos are as meticulously crafted as a spider web. Fluid, soulful, energetic. Great mid-80s' "Eyes."

Brent completely dominates this "Rooster."

Monster version that takes an already great show into 'epic' territory. Jerry sings and plays like a professional criminal here.

My favorite version from one of the best Dead shows I've ever heard. Jerry's on fire and the drummers are dynamite. Best one I've heard.

The more I listen the more this becomes maybe my favorite post-Brent version. cgarces, I remember you mentioning you're not big on this song, but I'd be curious to hear your take on this version.

This could use a couple of daps. Best version of a year that was not the best for the band or this duo. Not an unmitigated classic, but still very good.
The Other One

Nassau Coliseum

This "Other One" is such a delicious appetizer for the main course that is the "Dew." Listen up, this is explosive.

No debate on this one. Beautiful.

One of the best. Sweet as honey. Jerry sounds a little sharp vocally but I don't look to the Dead for perfection or shit like that. The passion is all there.
