Jerry spent years trying to get this solo just right. This is when he does. Each note pierces!

Jerry rides in with a trumpet solo at the 5:50 mark. Phil follows him along. Fantastic interplay and gorgeous solo from Garcia ala Freddie Hubbard.

Aarhus University

It's hard to imagine a more explosive version. The entire band crushes this. They drop it to the sea floor then launch it into outer space. Several waves of energy throughout. Garcia uses minimal notes but at maximum power. Play it loud!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 7, 1989
JFK Stadium

During the transition Jerry and Brent are melodic twins. Jerry's solo after the second verse in FOTM could be described as his most explosive of the 1980's
Crazy Fingers

Boston Garden

A tour de force from Hornsby. He absolutely shines here.
Not Fade Away
Dec. 29, 1977
Winterland Arena

Jer's second solo rips.
