Jerry's having a great night, and check our Brent in the segue to Eyes!

Keith (and everybody) is so on point in this twangy humdinger.

It's a great little tune when they play it like they did in summer '73.

Baltimore Civic Center

Fascinating sense of deconstruction in the jam. All fire in the beginning, it then dissipates into a series of quieter musings before kicking into the reprise.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

There’s some really cool stuff in the transition jam, the last moments of which Jerry seeks to draw out for longer than usual before alighting on Rider. Great headlight verse and Rider climax, too.
Bird Song

Baltimore Civic Center

The whole band really digs in from the word “go.” No apparent easing in. No wonder the BAM is like a thunder crack.

This one sparkles. Not as wild, or veering on chaotic, as some from ’73-’74. The first set steadily builds momentum as it goes, and it’s noticeable here.
