Playin' In The Band
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Wow, seemingly a very overlooked gem. Tension and release, weaving effortlessly from mellow jam segments to soaring peaks, without screechy breakdown

You Win Again
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

Moseying version. Jerry lays down buttery licks and Keith rides some nice fills. Zippidy doo dah tuning jam to follow

Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Great Saint, though the goods are in the MLB > Dear Prudence jam that follows. I can only imagine the level of blue balls in the house for that tease

The Music Never Stopped
Sept. 25, 1991
Boston Garden

I always liked this version. The boys gel together nicely for a peaky crescendo

Freight train of energy

Jack Straw
Aug. 22, 1993
Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Tough that Bobby has technical issues during this Straw, but he leaves the boys to tear this version a new one. Jerry shreds this to pieces! Very, very nice.
Days Between
Aug. 22, 1993
Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

This is very patient, poignant, and soulful. Jerry's vocals and playing are hauntingly on point. Very nice
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 7, 1989
JFK Stadium

Spun this one several times this weekend. Jerry's leads at the end of Scarlet are just incredible. He repeats a lick toward the end that sounds so vibrant, like a bell ringing. Coupled with a sick FOTM, this one has all-time status
Brokedown Palace
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

This one shines
The Other One
Aug. 23, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

The jam after the MAMU is crispy goodness. This one delivers
