Brown Eyed Women

Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

2 Drummer breakbeat attack with Phil throwing down the rope a dope and Jer firing darts - this one's lively.

Mexicali Blues

The Spectrum

Admittedly not a favorite tune for me but this is super crispy - laconic delivery by Weir w/ Jer's picking and tone perfection. Whole show is massive.

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

Jerry sure does end this one with some pyrotechnics.

Jai-Alai Fronton

You dig Peggy O's? Check this out and groove on the saturated sounds of Keith's Rhodes piano as he and Jerry weave a spell while Phil and Bobby keep it all lightly locked down....would like to hear from other's what other PP's are hiding out there that match this one's deep REM state.

Can opener style jamming on the 1st solo and then closes out with multiple triple Lindys on the ride out....massive show.
Cold Rain and Snow

Auditorium Theatre

Crow - I know that Hawaii show and great slower playing with the island vibe - I also love whenever Jerry plays his first solo like he's got a hatchet for a pick. Yessir. Check 4/13/71 for screamin' Bertha in the classic Skuil and Roses style. Must say this beats shoveling! hahaha.
Ramble On Rose
Oct. 21, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Admittedly not a huge fan o The Rose in general but this one does have that faster tempo and they attack it strongly which I prefer... I found one with some real in the pocket action albeit slightly slower on 11/22/72 which I think is an under appreciated show. +1
