Folsom Field

Jerry means every note in this solo. Love the false harmonics and power chords.

Nassau Coliseum

Jerry's solo will wake you the fuck up with chills down your spine. Phil and Bobby are going for it too.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Boston Garden

Just when you think this is a throwaway tune it isn't. Jerry kills, kills, kills the solo. And sings.

Cumberland County Civic Center

Jerry takes a completely different approach to the jam, takes it way far out

Rec Hall, Penn State U

Love how Jerry leaps from bluegrass riffs to blues bends in his early solos. At the end Bobby and Jerry are twisting and turning around each other.

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

Brilliant contortions in the solo.

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

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

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