Audio problems abound, but I quite fancy Jerry's playing in "Scarlet."

Fast. Tight. Happy. What more could you ask for?

Grand Prix Racecourse

Be forewarned- the sound quality on this is absolutely brutal, but it's worth it if you can make it through.

Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Out of a killer "DS," and a nice reading of a classic blues tune. Dig those changes!

Nice energy on this. Don't miss the birthday celebration for the monitor guy either.

So far, I haven't heard a bad song from this show. This version of "Loser" is a bit faster than I usually like it (I prefer versions where the tempo is closer to a dirge), but there's a really nice cowboy-swagger thing going on here.

It's got a vote from me. Nice reading of this song.
