They Love Each Other
Oct. 2, 1976
Riverfront Arena

Groovy, and some REAL nice solos by both Jerry and Keith. This one's got a little edge to it too.

The Sportatorium

'78 was a good year for this song. Lyrical slip-ups aside, the soloing and jaunty pace of this one make it a gem of the first set.

Downs of Santa Fe

One of a hundred high-energy versions of the early 80's, but hot nonetheless. Part of a thunderous Bobby-centric second set.

Good Lovin'

Curtis Hixon Convention Center

Part of a one-two-punch opener, paired with a heater of a Bertha. Keith adds great texture to Jerry's solo.

Jerry's got that wah going the whole song. Some may not like it, but I LOVE the psychedelic edge it brings to this version.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 11, 1983
Madison Square Garden

Phil's doing some really creative stuff with this one. Odd and offbeat, but REALLY cool.
Black Muddy River

The Omni

Bobby's guitar sounds excellent complementing Jerry's solo. I really think it's the reason why this one is so powerful, and it's a reminder of the chemistry they both had.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Gorgeous one. Jerry sounds amazing. A great encore and a fitting end to a good show.
Jack Straw
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Perfect in every way. This one is a fireball of energy, and easily my favorite. It's not even close.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 10, 1981
Madison Square Garden

A little ramshackle, but VERY creative and has tons of goodness in the transition jam and Fire.
