Fox Theatre

Booming peak jam, then a flawless segue back into TOO

The Other One

Fox Theatre

Two huge swells in this one. The first is a very funk jam led by Keith and Billy. The next involves a manic peak by Jerry. Worth checking out

He's Gone

Long Beach Arena

This jam is a patient wave of energy that hits a progressive peak, then dissipates as cautiously as it grew

Long Beach Arena

Jam starts fairly mellow, then Jerry vaults it into noodley hyperspace

Incredibly delicate version. Garcia very much in the forefront

This one is spot on

Hill Auditorium

This obviously wasn't the opener; Mac auto-type fail
Bertha

Rich Stadium

I could NOT get this to post. I tried and it came out as 1/1/65. Bar none, my favorite Bertha. The mid jam is absolutely sublime. Jerry hit a perfect note that will forever standout in my head
Walking Blues

Merriweather Post Pavilion

I don't even necessarily like this song, but the buys crush this front to back. Bobby even has some nice supportive axe work

River Bend Music Center

Jeeze, He's Gone -> Smokestack -> Cryptical -> Drums -> (Awesome) Space. Hard to ask for a better sequence. Bad ass
