Cal Expo

Hard-charging, uptempo version. Emphatic. Interesting ideas from Phil.

Listen to Phil on this. I love how when you least expect it, he reinvents how to play a song.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Surprised this isn't on here yet. Great mid-'80s plaintive vocals by Jerry, victorious solo.

In this notoriously shaky year there are often gems to be found among the train wreckage. This BEW is an example. Jerry's solo is spot on

This is an insane version. Would be much higher if there was a SBD.

Great first solo and then everyone kills it in the jam, especially Bobby, Phil and Jerry
Ship of Fools

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

When Jerry wasn't paying attention (for whatever reason), it manifested itself in dropped beats. What he does at the end of this tune is not good.

Really interesting what Jerry plays during the verses and Bob's approach to the intro.
