Train rippin' down the hot coals of the 1973 track.

Drums
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

It Must Have Been The Roses

Wembley Arena

Jerry tearing the standards book asunder with this elegant poetic brilliance

Big River

Wembley Arena

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

Scorching, delicate hymnal
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

Can't miss the encore, played nearly 100 times in this decade it's a sweet send off for such a hot show in the thick of the era. Crystalline, gossamer, ragged. Thick lesh crunchies and commanding sergeant vigor and might!!!
Sugar Magnolia
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

Just exactly perfect, Jerry woodshedding to drool over, plinky brent, On vocal, and characteristically blistering pace. Generous and upliftingly blue flame.

Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

mind blowingly good... Jerry gazing out to other universes
