Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

Bobby and Donna provide mellow background vocals to the opening jam, then everyone sets the dial to '11' in a great peak jam!

Super extended China Cat! SBD cuts out hard in a few places, but the awesomeness of this version simply cannot be stopped

Morning Dew
Feb. 28, 1969
Fillmore West

Show opening, near 12 min version. Raw, powerful and emotive. Love, love, love Jerry’s tone
Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 28, 1969
Fillmore West

For me, this one is the ONE. Such controlled manic swells, perfectly paced, everyone is nimbly riding an incredible wave of energy. Creativity paired with precision. UnREAL levels of greatness
Cumberland Blues
April 8, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

Went back to my roots for Jerry week and this screamer has lost on steam or luster after all these years. Keith is an absolute MONSTER on the boards. Speed country rock at its absolute best
The Music Never Stopped
June 7, 1977
Winterland Arena

Never stop, NEVER STOP, NO. Full throttle, shot out of a cannon energy. To shelf heater
Estimated Prophet
Dec. 4, 1979
Uptown Theater

This Estimated is good, but the Franklin's that follows is the take home. Around the 7 min mark, DJ Jazzy Brent has some silky licks before the solo gets handed over to Jerry. Worth listening for that contribution.
