Edmundson Pavilion

'74 was a great year for the short barroom-type numbers.

Edmundson Pavilion

One of many high-high-energy versions from '74.

From a very hot 1st set. The whole band shines.

Masterful, powerful version. They nail it.

Very strong '90s version with fluid, effusive Jerry runs.

Tennessee Jed
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

I’m on an upvoting spree this first set, which is to say — it’s all so good. Don’t skip any of the short songs on the way to the big jams.
Terrapin Station
Aug. 4, 1982
Kiel Auditorium

This is an exceptionally well-played Terrapin even before they get to the jam. With the jam, this is a reasonable contender for the Top 25. Brent shows off his jazz chops throughout.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 3, 1979
Uptown Theatre

Commenting purely on the audio: Anyone checking out this show should hear the Dusborne matrix, which is much livelier and more detailed than the muddy-sounding Dave’s Picks release.
To Lay Me Down
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Altogether almost faultless, this one climaxes nicely with Jerry’s solo.
Black Throated Wind
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Fabulous performance all around!
