Jerry and Brent feeling it. Interesting Bertha > CB 2nd set opener

I love what Bobby plays during the 2nd solo.

Jerry takes charge in the jam and doesn't put a foot wrong. Waits for the others before the peak. Deceptively profound version.

Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Anaheim Stadium

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.

Extended, raging peak lead by Jerry and Mickey.

Estimated Prophet

Market Square Arena

Agreed, this is a remarkable transition into Eyes. Listen to what Bobby plays.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Market Square Arena

moberg is right about the solo. What Jerry does in the last chorus is mind blowing. He just decides fuck it. Great transition and Fire too.
Dark Star
Jan. 20, 1979
Shea's Theater

This is not a good Dark Star. They try something dissonant, it doesn't work, verse is a train wreck, and they're relieved to be playing NFA. No wonder it was the last one for almost 3 years.

New Haven Coliseum

It's late in the day but Jerry and Keith have some great interplay here.
Casey Jones

Springfield Civic Center

Great vocals and solo
