Jerry and Brent feeling it. Interesting Bertha > CB 2nd set opener

Jerry takes charge in the jam and doesn't put a foot wrong. Waits for the others before the peak. Deceptively profound version.

Anaheim Stadium

In true perverse fashion, the Dead backed Dylan at his lowest point. But the way he sings this - on the wrong chords - has an insane urgency.

Intense, dynamic version. Goes to a lot of unexpected places.
Eyes Of The World

Uptown Theater

This is a great one, with Jerry and Phil inspired throughout, and a jam into Stella no less
Big River

Selland Arena

Jerry takes this Big River by the throat.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Jan. 13, 1978
Arlington Theater

Phil is great on this and I love how Jerry holds back and takes his time on the solos, waiting for something to happen. Burning fire at the end too.

Golden Hall

Phil is incredible in the second solo.
