Pauley Pavilion

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

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

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.

Nice version! Tempo is different from the ones I'm most familiar with (77-ish), but I like this, and Jerry plays some interesting lines over the chord changes.

Heard some of the hype around this show and was expecting more, but it's a decent version.

I don't know if I'll vote for it yet, but this is one of a few performances in the first part of this set that I dug.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Civic Auditorium

Absolutely worth a listen, if only because it's so unexpected.
