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).

The first time I heard this it scared the hell out of me. Intense playing!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

Circled back around to this one apparently! Very good version with a great transition. Nice matrix of this cures what ails ya.

Uptown Theater

Still surprised to see that this has gotten no love! First ever 1/2 Step > Franklins and it's a fire version! Great matrix of this, give it an ear.
