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

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

Smokin' and refined version of this deep cut, on "All Hallow's Eve" as a chap might say

The Music Never Stopped
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

The jam builds and builds, off the meters by the end. Important TMNS!
Big River
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

big river's don't get much better than this, rockabilly power.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Happy birthday Billy version, and it's a nail-biter. The solo goes the distance, Jerry starts getting crazy, Devils pounding away too, thrilling stuff. Then the rio grandioh coda pushes this Mississippi to "there" territory. Chills!
New Minglewood Blues
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

That opening cornell one is hot but so is this shit. Lion's den growl version.
Pretty Peggy O
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Yet another monster Peggy can't miss this one.
