Tingly, jingly, jangly bowls of Jerry noodles

The Rhythm Devils and Jerry come together nicely on this one

Dancin' in the Streets
Jan. 7, 1978
Golden Hall

Jerry has laryngitis, so he speaks with his hands. Starts as a buttsweat dancefest. Long jam that eventually quiets to a whisper before wrapping up

It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Veterans Auditorium

Slow, long version of Baby Blue. Jerry's voice is sweet and the organ adds nice texture

Playin' In The Band
Dec. 31, 1976
Cow Palace

In a night that is a veritable human highlight reel, this Playin' is a shining example of why this show should be unquestionably in the upper echelon. The initial jam is absolutely hypnotic and entrancing, then Jerry's driven lead is a mature, pointed, and a clear emotional communication. He is on a mission. Purposeful, doesn't devolve into chaos - there is thoughtful intent throughout. Always been a top 3 for me and finally having the joy of hearing on vinyl after a recent buy. This one deserves way, wayyyy (like WAY) more dap
Cassidy
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

Lengthy (relatively speaking), dreamy jam in the middle. Whole band connecting as a unified voice.
Brown Eyed Women
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

Bruce on this - my GOD! Hard to follow Jerry's killer solo, but Bruce practically lights the keys on fire. So, so good. Phil with great thumping groundwork
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 16, 1991
Giants Stadium

Agree wholly with initial post. Both China and Rider each seem to have a bit extra room and extension. Bruce opened these kinds of doors for the band in that era to confidently explore. Liking this version a ton
Saint of Circumstance
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

^what the clash said. This version is made by the 2-3 min of seeming drums/space the precedes it. That little jam segment is spacey gold and transitioning into Saint is pretty shocking.
