Johnny B. Goode

Civic Center

Jerry in full guitar hero mode, and he can barely keep up with himself. They played FAST in '80.

Days Between

Rosemont Horizon

Slow build but the outtro solo is worth it. Jerry shreds it to pieces. Amazing. Make sure you get the Matrix - it's a VAST improvement.

Ken Nordine Space - definitely worth a listen.

So Many Roads

Rosemont Horizon

Pretty bad lyrical flubs, but fluent and decisive solo

It Must Have Been The Roses
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

No solo, but lots of beautiful little nuances hiding in the verses. Standout performance by every supporting member.

Truckin'

Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

Fast start to a great and under-appreciated first set.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

The Rider is insane.
New Minglewood Blues
March 16, 1990
Capital Centre

Really takes off in the second half.
Dark Star
April 24, 1972
Rheinhalle

Stiff competition, but it's my personal favorite from Europe 72.
Jack Straw
Nov. 24, 1978
Capitol Theatre

Catches me on the first "share" every time. Too bad about Jerry's voice, but otherwise, it's a real standout.
