Acrobatic and articulate playing by Jerry

Not Fade Away
July 31, 1983
Ventura County Fairgrounds

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

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

Bird Song

Saratoga Performing Arts Center

Great interplay between Jerry and Brent
Let It Grow
March 25, 1983
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Bombs is right. Worth listening to for what Phil does to the jam.
They Love Each Other
July 19, 1990
Deer Creek Music Center

Agree with Johnny that Jerry plays a great solo here. He takes a very unusual approach, focuses hard, and breaks new ground.
Dire Wolf
Oct. 19, 1974
Winterland Arena

Love the slow arrangement of this tune. The second phrase in Jerry's first solo (what other commenters are identifying as Crazy Fingerish) is monumental and heartbreaking.
Loose Lucy
Oct. 19, 1974
Winterland Arena

Pre-break versions are so much better than the lumbering, dreary 90s ones. Phil and Billy sound so good here, and Jerry's solo is spacy and loose.
