Dillon Stadium

Jerry's in primal Viola Lee mode more than per country twang.

Selland Arena

What an ending jam. Jerry improvises astonishing structures with ease and fluency. The others are right there with him.

Bursting with feeling and well-played by all.

Jerry's solo is so articulate -- immaculately constructed. Some very fine stuff.

Manic and dangerous, Jerry shreds this to bits.
Me and My Uncle

Jai-Alai Fronton

Almost primal Dead at times. Wild and anything but typical.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 21, 1977
Lakeland Civic Center

Thrashing, wild Scarlet yields suddenly to a creeping, boggy Fire. Not perfect, but plenty of blood and grit: recommended.
Knockin' On Heaven's Door
March 21, 1990
Copps Coliseum

As delicately intimate a performance as you're likely to hear from the Dead in 1990. Not a wasted note.
Bird Song
