Jerry gets into some very unusual, far-out shit during this jam.

Jerry does everything in this Rider, especially in his final solo.

Awesome version. Listen to Jerry from the start and especially his solo (and Phil). This spring tour comes to life right here.

Blues For Allah
March 23, 1975
Kezar Stadium

Should be #1. Can you imagine going to this show and hearing this followed by Johnny B. Goode? The octave pedal on Jerry's guitar sounds insane and frightening. They accomplish in the Stronger Than Dirt jam what they never could regain in the next four years of playing Dancin' in the Streets.
Dark Star
Aug. 1, 1973
Roosevelt Stadium

Heavy, experimental, intense version. Going into El Paso is brilliant.
Cassidy
April 1, 1986
Providence Civic Center

Jam is great. Listen to Phil toward the end.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 27, 1986
Cumberland County Civic Center

This is a great China Rider. Listen to the outrageous moments in the transition, especially between Jerry and Brent.
Bird Song
March 21, 1986
Hampton Coliseum

A bright light from a dark time. LagerandGos is right. Jerry is sharp, Bobby is brilliant.
