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.

Nice call Moberg! Sweet > from the “Dancin’” fade out. Nice first solo. Drums kick up a notch before the final the end. Crowd loves it. Absolutely worth a listen.

Vocals are good (Donna’s having an on night). Crowd twigs during “in NYC” line. Shorter but very coherent solo from Garcia. Fade out at end performed rather well.

Also, "Estimated" followed by "Jed" is too perverse to pass up.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

The Palladium

Moore's AUD is a bit boomy on the low end (I agreed with others on the LMA who thought the band sounded too far away on the other source). I dealt with it (it's not that bad), but if it bugs you, throw it into your favorite editing program. Don't let it deter you from hearing this!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden

It ain't my vote! I definitely think this is the better of the two.
