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

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.

Giants Stadium

Great, but Jerry does take a dive on the outro riff of "Fire." Solid otherwise though.

I've been trying to branch out more and listen to some different years. Jerry hits peak after peak and sounds great.

Great singing, and Garcia's just having a great night.
Midnight Hour

Capitol Theater

I've grown to love these Ken Lee AUDs. It's the closest I've ever come to ever hearing what it was like to BE there.
