St. Paul Civic Center

Not my favorite way for Jerry to play it, but it still rocks.

Jerry is all over the map with the lyrics.

Nice acoustic version.

It would be better if they played it a little faster.

I Fought The Law
April 5, 1993
Nassau Coliseum

Probably the most hated song they played - even moreso than Day Job.

It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry
Aug. 18, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

With this, every version the Dead played is here.
Big River
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

They hand the stage over to Keith and he runs with it. He is kicking some serious butt here.
Let It Rock
Dec. 31, 1975
Keystone

Jerry hated Nicky Hopkins. Nicky wanted to talk between every song and Jerry wanted him to shut up. Jerry got his way.
Next Time You See Me
March 5, 1972
Winterland Arena

In the instrumental break, Jerry, Keith and Pig are all into it.
Bertha
March 5, 1972
Winterland Arena

Even Charlie Miller couldn't fix this one. It sounds like they're playing in a tunnel. Yes - the quality gets better, but it's really lousy during Bertha.
