Curious this isn't on here yet. One of Jerry's best solos ever. Notes disappear into nothing, then the next one digs and bites. Remarkable feeling.

They Love Each Other

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

You know a great version of this tune by the first four or five notes of Jerry's solo and this doesn't disappoint. Phil supports beautifully.

Jerry's feeling it. Beautiful solo, intense jam with searching chromatic phrases.

Great Jerry solo. Love it when he starts it slow with the long spaces and odd accents.

Agreed, this is a remarkable transition into Eyes. Listen to what Bobby plays.

moberg is right about the solo. What Jerry does in the last chorus is mind blowing. He just decides fuck it. Great transition and Fire too.
Dark Star

Shea's Theater

This is not a good Dark Star. They try something dissonant, it doesn't work, verse is a train wreck, and they're relieved to be playing NFA. No wonder it was the last one for almost 3 years.

It's late in the day but Jerry and Keith have some great interplay here.
