Berkley Community Theatre

Like so many Shakedowns, this one is a slow starter. But once that groove takes hold it's Disco Dead magic!!

Not Fade Away

Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium

There are moments where the jam takes on a nice funky groove. Brent's an absolute organ grinder on this one.

An absolute shredder that leads into Franklin's to close out a smokin' 1st set

A pristine version. Some beautiful AUD recordings of this show on archive.

Terrapin Station
June 15, 1992
Giants Stadium

A great version which follows a So Many Roads. This is a really underrated show from the Jerry side of things. He's really on this night. A real lengthy Bird Song in the 1st set. So Many Roads>Terrapin and a beautiful SOTM in the 2nd.
West L.A. Fadeaway

Carolina Coliseum - University of South Carolina

I think this version doesn't get the love because it is set inside of a brief, odd-ball Halloween show. But this is a real tight and raunchy version. My favorite for sure.
Terrapin Station
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

I know that it's tough competition in the category of '77 Terrapin, but the soaring Alhambra jam makes this one my favorite of the year.

Campus Stadium - University Of California

This is why we love Donna Jean so much! Outstanding version. Only the Bettyboard and/or 30 Days 2012 versions do her performance justice, listen to no others.
The Wheel
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

When it comes to The Wheel, so much depends on the quality of the intro and/or outro. This extended version with Jerry's flute-effect is one of a kind intro. Beautiful
