Pauley Pavilion

The band is tight and Jerry doesn't miss a beat. Seems like he's surfing with his guitar lines.

Assembly Hall

I think Jerry's working ideas out in new places in the fretboard during the "China" solo, and Brent is contributing some interesting colors.

Nice slow shuffle, and Jerry's playing is quite melodic. But he brings the heat at the end (with some help from Keith).

Some nice playing from Jerry in the solos and transition.

I agree with the above, and want to add that if you love 80s releases and/or matrices, it's worth getting just to they put out more. /soapbox.

This is when I hear Garcia really stepping out and trying some new ideas, which infuses the rest of the night with some serious magic. Three songs in (and the first two ain't bad either!)!

It sounded like Jerry was a bit vocally fatigued, but then he kicked on the effects and shreds. Absolutely worth a listen.

Yes! Those are some great synth tones, and they mesh very well with the tone Garcia's dialing in tonight. Also some nice interplay between J G, Brent, and Bobby.

This whole thing is too funny in context.
