I would put this up against any other '88 performance. Rise and Fall Jam unleashed!

First show of '84. Absolutely insane LIG, and one of the fastest. Phil bombs, Brent synths.

Outstanding performance. Like a mix of CSNY and Sammy Hagar with the Dead.

Yeah, I always thought Keith's piano in '71 sounded like an old saloon tack piano. And man, Jer was sure ready to go for his solos on this one.

Dillon Stadium

I'm amazed this isn't more well-known. Jer just never lets up here, even in the wind-down jam. Lots of big swells in the jams, rivaling some of the best known '72 versions. Like you said, more in the "Viola Lee Blues" tradition of Dead progressions, with Keith doing some cool shit now-and-then.

Yeah, was listening to this show on a whim this morning, and this one really caught me. Jerry is super musical with his riffs/leads, changing it up over and over again. Great work by Keith here as well.

Keith gets euphoric here.
