Nevada County Fairgrounds

This show proves hot out of the gate with this fiercely jammed Jack Straw. The Andrew F recording sounds amazing, too.

Crisler Arena

More evidence for the NFAissance of 1989. Torn to shreds.

Drums -> Space
July 15, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California

Xylophone loop madness in Drums, then a creepy two-note riff by Bobby surfaces several times in Space.

Crisler Arena

En fuego! Masterfully executed, funky, slinky, and ultimately ripped to shreds.

Mexicali Blues
July 27, 1974
Civic Center

Another FAST ’74 version, it’s executed with so much swagger you’d swear they could go faster still.

Black Throated Wind
Oct. 17, 1974
Winterland Arena

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

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.

Cumberland County Civic Center

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

One of the best.
