Bertha
July 27, 1974
Civic Center

Funky version slathered in Fender Rhodes gets an incendiary Jerry solo.

Space

Capital Centre

Ominous dark synth lead-in to a great Other One.

Sugaree
July 6, 1990
Cardinal Stadium

Wow, everyone’s playing the hell out of this Sugaree! The band is clearly ON.

Drums

Uptown Theater

These long freaky Drumses from ’78 are really compelling. The band must have felt so too, since Drums>Space, uh, stuck around!

When I Paint My Masterpiece

California State University Dominguez Hills

Jerry's solo is on point, really precise and eloquent.

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!
