Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

A very tight version with great Phil bombs and Jerry solo. This show slips under the radar. Don't miss it.

Fire On The Mountain

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Jerry's Mutron magic and Bobby's noodling slide make this version unique. So much energy here.

Drums -> Space
March 15, 1990
Capital Centre

The jam out of Terrapin>Drums>And>Space is a lysergic MIDI soup of ecstasy. Too bad it had to go into Brent's cheesy lullaby after instead of a Wheel

Estimated Prophet

Frost Amphitheatre

A raging '83 version, filled with crispy headiness. Bobby and Jerry steal faces during the end jam.

Winterland Arena

Flawless execution. Perfect Keith solo and Garcia performance. A definitive '77 version.

While I listen to many Scarlets for the jam, I listen to this one for the vocals. Jerry and Donna just nail every verse, and there is some very trippy Donna wails during the jam (the Scarlet jam here is nice, but mostly uninteresting; Jerry sort of holds back to let Phil and Bobby pluck away while he noodles around, pulls out the slide, ect).

Oh yes; this is the definitive...absolutely spine-chilling...then Feedback....I just lifted off...

The band were playing ahead of their time this night. Incredible synergy and primal deadness. Album quality work this night.
Black Peter
Aug. 25, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Looks like this show is getting some well-deserved attention via Dave's Picks. This performance of Black Peter is "just exactly perfect" with top-notch Jerry vocals and some hair-raising instrumental segments. Nice supporting vocals from Phil as well.

San Diego International Sports Arena

Jerry just keeps pushing the jams here. Very interesting and unique Truckin'>Other One.
