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.

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.

The first line of Jerry's solo, with the spaces and big intervals, is brilliant.

This goes into a very weird place that almost doesn't sound like the Dead, followed by one of the best pre-drums Bobby jams I've heard.

Jerry was killing this tune in 82.

Jerry chases down some very interesting themes starting at around 4:30
