Jerry and Donna sound great in this uptempo version. Jerry's solo smokes too, of course.

Sweet bluesy outro jam. Spring ’78 was very good to poor Peter.

Pretty Peggy O

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Seemingly looser and jammier than some, with some great musical conversations.

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Slick, efficient Garcia solo, plus some cool flourishes by the Godchauxs.

Music Hall

Perfectly phrased and chosen melody lines from Jerry. Another astonishing FOTD of the era.

St. Stephen
Feb. 14, 1970
Fillmore East

It was too played on this date.
Foolish Heart
March 20, 1991
Capital Centre

Just enchanting. Jerry and Bruce harmonize on a unique, trancelike outro that itself is a clever variation on the signature riff(s).
Not Fade Away
Aug. 30, 1980
The Spectrum

Are you kidding me?! Hot! August - September ’80 is terrific, one of the brightest points of the entire decade.
Me and My Uncle
May 24, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Jerry lets himself get carried away to great results.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 4, 1990
Sandstone Amphitheatre

The transition is abrupt, and Jer messes up some of the lyrics. If you can get past that, this is a great version! Both halves are played with panache and are stuffed with interesting passages.
