Estimated Prophet
May 4, 1979
Hampton Coliseum
Roller coaster outro rises, drops, and swerves again and again, led by Jerry at lightning speed.

I love the way Brent contributes to this delicate but sprightly Ship. Magical.

Cumberland Blues

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.

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.
