Fillmore Auditorium

Very solid St Stephen that bleeds effortlessly into a raucous Eleven

Fillmore Auditorium

Hits a nice mellow calypso jam, then shoots into a flurry of energy to reach a massive peak! Loving the new Dave's Picks release

Dark Star

Hofheinz Pavilion

Lesh takes the reigns about half way through and from then on, this one is pure magic. Very uplifting jam to close, then buttery segue into WRS

Leads to a pretty nice peak. Good Donna contributions (there, I said it)

Knockin' On Heaven's Door
March 21, 1990
Copps Coliseum

Agree, not a note wasted and the notes between speak volumes. Not the longest version, but Jerry's leads are infectiously emotive

Copps Coliseum

Jerry absolutely tears into this solo. Great chunky fills by Brent too. A bouncier version than usual. No second jam, sadly though
Not Fade Away
May 28, 1977
Hartford Civic Center

That jam before the segue into a really wonderful Rat completely makes this version
Playin' In The Band
May 28, 1977
Hartford Civic Center

Great call on the tone of Keith's keys. Adds a nice, understated spaciness to the jam. This second set is pure gold, start to finish

Winterland Arena

Go ahead and chalk this up as another prime example of cgarces being that dude that will not steer you wrong. Been a while since i heard this one, spun it on a run today, thought "oh, that was good," then spun again once i got back and was pretty floored. Jerry just does NOT want the jam segment in the middle to end. Just keeps pushing and it gets hotter and hotter. Very choice, and thanks for the prompting, C!
