Nevada County Fairgrounds

This show proves hot out of the gate with this fiercely jammed Jack Straw. The Andrew F recording sounds amazing, too.

Not Fade Away

Crisler Arena

More evidence for the NFAissance of 1989. Torn to shreds.

Drums -> Space
July 15, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California

Xylophone loop madness in Drums, then a creepy two-note riff by Bobby surfaces several times in Space.

Feel Like A Stranger

Crisler Arena

En fuego! Masterfully executed, funky, slinky, and ultimately ripped to shreds.

Mexicali Blues
July 27, 1974
Civic Center

Another FAST ’74 version, it’s executed with so much swagger you’d swear they could go faster still.

The Other One
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena

My favorite thing about this version is listening to Keith synthesize Jerry's brand-new Slipknot lines on the fly.
Ramble On Rose
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena

HUGE version right here. Heavy but never lumbering. The whole band is in peak form, although I’d be remiss if I didn’t single out one PHILIP LESH.
Cumberland Blues
June 23, 1974
Jai-Alai Fronton

Probably one of the latest versions to suggest the old Viola Lee Blues jams. One of the breaks really gets primal. Phenomenal.

Heckuva show opener!
Big River
Nov. 25, 1973
Feyline Field

Jerry’s soloing is some of the hottest I’ve ever heard in Big River. Keith too exceeds my already lofty expectations.
