Casey Jones
Took me 33 years to hear this one again, don't make the same mistake, it rocks
3
Stagger Lee
Strained Jerry Vocals, but the effort is there, Love this version
2
Big River
very nice rendition from a very nice and unique show
3
Pretty Peggy O
beautiful version
2
New Minglewood Blues
Great slide solo from Jerry, and a quick transition back
4
Shakedown Street
The first song at a rescheduled show...the Dead come out with a smokeshow
6
Brown Eyed Women
Sweet! Jer with laryngitis(?) actually makes this all the more aching - jam and interplay are oh so kind.
3
Eyes Of The World
Several relentless guitar passages throughout.
1
Not Fade Away
Lazy show until the NFA, which is also kind of lazy hazy
3
Black Peter
One of the more languid takes on this one. Although Jerry's voice is shot, it works. Notable for 2 runs through the solo, both of them stellar.
1
Space
Really fascinating space/jam after drums, lots of other one hints that ends in an abrupt NFA transition
