NFA as a Jerry tune? Yup, here it is! "But you drive me back -- huh!" Hell yes!

Overlooked GEM! Swift yet deeply felt. Jerry CRUSHES it.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue
June 20, 1983
Merriweather Post Pavilion

This version is well-worth EVERY Head's time. The way Jerry rips into the first solo, after holding out for a bit -- masterful, literally. Get the Vernon transfer: it may be the best-sounding AUD I've ever heard. (Though I'm not an AUD guy and am VERY biased at this particular moment.)
Brown Eyed Women

William and Mary College Hall

^^^ I'm pretty sure that the "off" beat is intentional, since they played the song that way for some stretch of time, I think all in spring '78. It's a strange beat, for sure, and they were wise to retire it... but it DOES work, I think, and it's certainly interesting.

^^^ By George, I think you're right!

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

^^^ None of that is necessary. There's an excellent SBD in circulation. I'm sure you can find it at db.etree.org. (I suggest going for the original SBD, not the UltraMatrix.)
Estimated Prophet

Madison Square Garden

^^^ The existing SBD of this is horribly off-pitch. I've been meaning to correct it. Perhaps I'll finally do it and upload it to etree.
