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.

Absolutely gorgeous version. Has the majesty of something like "Terrapin" while maintaining the song's apocalyptic intensity.

Tight and crispy from an amazing show.
Fire On The Mountain

Sphinx Theatre

This version is incredible. The Egypt shows are incredibly uneven, but the Ollin -> Fire -> Aiko is absolutely fucking awesome.

I have to agree that Vince's synth sax sounds really jarring against Branford's much better playing on an actual friggin' saxophone. Shame, because the jam is otherwise absolute aces.

I've been on a kick with "LIG" lately....this one left me breathless.
