Jerry's in primal Viola Lee mode more than per country twang.

What an ending jam. Jerry improvises astonishing structures with ease and fluency. The others are right there with him.

Jerry's solo is so articulate -- immaculately constructed. Some very fine stuff.

Winterland Arena

I’m not sure if this is *Bobby’s* best BTW — probably not — but it might be Jerry’s best BTW.

Winterland Arena

Titanic version, somehow ranked third among versions from this run. Well worth checking out.
Greatest Story Ever Told
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

What a thing hearing GSET this vividly rendered, undimmed by the 10 years since its debut.

This show needs more love. Fantastic playing and *big* peaks here.
Brokedown Palace
Dec. 10, 1973
Charlotte Coliseum

One of the best.
