Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium

Notable because of what Bobby and Jerry play at the end of the jam. Fast forward to it if you need to.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Great version. Jerry plays angry, always a good sign. Check out his first solo. Also, Brent's mumbly jumbly solo is not too bad here.

You can hear Brent listen. Also love when Jerry switches to fingerpicking in the solo.

The first line of Jerry's solo, with the spaces and big intervals, is brilliant.

Glenns Falls Civic Center

This goes into a very weird place that almost doesn't sound like the Dead, followed by one of the best pre-drums Bobby jams I've heard.

Jerry was killing this tune in 82.
Bird Song

Jerry chases down some very interesting themes starting at around 4:30
