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.

Big River

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

Funky, rich, and deep. Crazy.
Ramble On Rose
July 7, 1989
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
Playin' In The Band

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.
