Some really nimble guitar work by Jerry. Ripping version

Great dichotomy between Jerry and Duane's solos

Wang Dang Doodle

Metropolitan Sports Center

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

Patient build into a soaring version. Glides nicely into a Playin' Reprise

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

Jack Straw

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

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
