The Worcester crowd is really into it. Another hot version. Aren't they almost always hot?

Jerry singing Big Boss Man to open the show - and nobody has mentioned this yet?

The Spectrum

This era is overlooked and underappreciated. This - like most around this time - cooks.

Spokane Coliseum

Love the restraint Jerry plays with during the second instrumental break. Very measured and disciplined.

Bob's rap starts off with an indirect mention of Pigpen.

Simple Twist Of Fate
March 1, 1980
Capitol Theatre

Passionate and intense. If this was Jerry playing it with the Dead, people would love it.
Cold Rain and Snow

Augusta Civic Center

I don't get it. The pace is sluggish, the guitar work uninspired. Yeah, they get into the final singalong, but overall this being the best one they ever played?
Johnny B. Goode
Nov. 14, 1971
Texas Christian University

It sounds like the band is going to kill the song early, but Jerry and Keith push on to a rockin' finish.
Maybe You Know
April 21, 1986
Berkeley Community Theater

Bad idea.
Death Don't Have No Mercy
Sept. 29, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Sometimes you read these comments and think - do the Grateful Dead ever sing? Here's props for a great verse by Bob.
