Ramble On Rose

Folsom Field

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

Mexicali Blues

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)
May 12, 1980
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

Big River

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.

Jerry roars at the laryngitis show.

The peak from Jerry and Bobby in the coda is very intense.

This PITB won't change your life like it did Bman's but it has great playing from Bobby and Brent.
Day Job

Seattle Center Coliseum

It's not a complicated tune and yet Jerry loses the form several times. Not likely to endear Deadheads to this new addition. It is amusing to hear him get pissed and play power chords tho.

Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Bobby decides to take a completely new approach to this tune here and it's awesome.
