Jerry sinks his teeth into this jam. A wonder to behold.

Arguably the version in which Bobby forgot the fewest lyrics. Also great, imaginative playing by Jerry throughout.

Civic Center

From the cold depths of 1985 comes a truly great MSWS. Drums are tight, Phil and Bobby sound great, and Jerry repeatedly comes up with gold.

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Bobby high in the mix; great guitar-Brent interplay

Bird Song

The Centrum

Bird Songs started to get longer around this time and that's not a bad thing. Listen to what Bobby plays starting at 7:32

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

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Jerry kills the middle solo and the interplay between him and Weir at the end is fantastic
Mexicali Blues
April 12, 1982
Nassau Coliseum

Brilliant contortions in the solo.
Playin' In The Band

The Spectrum

The jam after Ship of Fools will make you go wait a minute, and replay it from the beginning.
New Minglewood Blues
Feb. 19, 1982
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

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