Jerry is on point in the first set. Excellent version with mournful vocals, crisp effected guitars, and strong Vince. Recommended!

Beautiful! The pain is there, but Jerry is lucid and feeling it. Flows nicely into Throwing Stones

Excellent mid-80s version. Jerry is very lucid in this show, heartfelt and floaty version.

Love this version. Not jammed out, but incredibly delivered and fun.

very well performed. Re-master on the RFK boxset is sublime. Someone is triggering dramatic thunderstorm sound effects around the 7:00 mark.

Uncle John's Band

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

really great improv after a poorly sung version - the longest UJB of the Brent era to my knowledge.
Terrapin Station

Berkeley Community Theatre

nice fusion-y outro jam leads into a bad trip chaotic zone before transitioning into drums
Terrapin Station

Shoreline Amphitheatre

The most unheralded Grateful Dead jam of all time. This is a nearly 45 minute Terrapin with a massive, drippy, full band improv. Kind of Brent's last hurrah in terms of deeeeeeeep improv. The only reason that this is buried is because it isn't from a marquee year like 1977 or 1989. Should be in the top 3.

incredibly atypical zone coming out of this jam. Bobby tries to audible to Uncle Johns, but gets nodded off, full band improv winding down into drums
Crazy Fingers

Fox Theater

delicious / atypical outro jam with full band improv and teases of The Other One and Supplication winding down gently into Drums
