Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

Great stuff, bright, invigorating, and resourceful. Prime ribbed and roarin' 82.

Bitching, straight-ahead, perfection. Vocals are sublime

Funky, rich, and deep. Crazy.

JFK Stadium

It's a special ROR, and Jerry knows it's hot as shit and is very happy with the band's work on this. Positively crackling with uproariously amazing energy. obsessed with the 2-bar jerry lick over the V chord at 3:55

Augusta Civic Center

Hugely powerful sandwiched playing in this 2nd set technique of dipping through themes in and out of spacey sepulchral hymns, rhythms of the spheres invoked by Garcia's spinning.
