Jerry works very hard to put this one over the top. Check out his last solo

They almost never got this song right, so it's no wonder they stopped playing it. This time they did. Bobby doesn't oversing, drummers are on it.

Jerry and Bobby Space, uncharacteristically grounded and coherent, leading into the best St. Stephen of the '83 revival

Beautiful searching, inquisitive solos, plus you get to hear Jerry telling us to get yourself a parking lot

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Jerry kills the middle solo and the interplay between him and Weir at the end is fantastic
Mexicali Blues

Nassau Coliseum

Brilliant contortions in the solo.

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

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

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