Grand Center

Jerry’s solo is a fountain of melodic exuberance, reminiscent of the BEW earlier in the set.

Worth switching to the AUD to hear the explosive ending after the SBD cuts out. Just awe-inspiring.

Knickerbocker Arena

Freaky electro Drums. In Space, listen for Bobby’s wild playing shortly before Jerry segues into Miracle.

Lots of Keith on organ during the verses, which creates some novel textures.

Hot, swampy East Coast summer energy! Very powerful.

Divinely inspired. I’m going to upvote the LIG right now.

Paramount Theatre

Just ridiculous. I can’t even believe this thing. Don’t go another day without hearing this. (The SBD’s not great, but try the AUD, loud.)
