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.

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.

Beautiful searching, inquisitive solos, plus you get to hear Jerry telling us to get yourself a parking lot

Jerry kills the middle solo and the interplay between him and Weir at the end is fantastic

Nassau Coliseum

Brilliant contortions in the solo.

The jam after Ship of Fools will make you go wait a minute, and replay it from the beginning.

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

I love it when Jerry plays angry. Check out the power chords. The Rango aud is incredible sounding.
