One of the craziest, spaciest, and wacky versions you’ll ever hear

The final version from an epic China>Rider. Doesn’t get any better

One of the best versions of this song that Jerry did. There seems to be 2 guitar players on this track. Anyone have any info on that?

The Catalyst

Kevin Tobin just put out a nice video of this Garcia/Kahn show with great audio. I didn’t know they played this one as a duo. Great version!

Surprised this version isn’t on here. Bobby’s vocals and playing are great, and Brent’s verse and solo really make this a top tier version

Terrapin Station
March 20, 1977
Winterland Arena

This is a really good version. They played Terrapin at all 3 shows of this run, and this one might be my favorite. The one from 3/18 is historical, and the one from 3/19 is pretty good, but this one is my favorite. Everyone is firing on all cylinders, especially Jerry, Bob and Phil. Keith also has some nice keyboard effects, and Billy and Mickey are having fun on the cymbals at the end. Donna isn’t too intrusive either. The matrix of this show really makes this one pop. Dig it!

This Bertha opens my favorite album of all time. Everyone is on point, and the sound is very clean. Glad they’re remastering the album this year. That 7/2/71 show looks hot too!

Just got the Seamons Matrix of this show. So far, I’ve listened to this and the Scarlet>Fire. This version is really sweet and melodic. Jerry’s solos are super smooth and luscious; perhaps even better than 5/19, which has been a personal favorite for a while. The vocals are also very good. Dig it!
Eyes Of The World
March 27, 1987
Civic Center

Although I’m not the biggest fan of mid-late eighties Eyes(too fast & too short), this one just has something about it that I really like. The only con about this one is that there is virtually no intro jam; once everyone is on board with Eyes, Jerry starts singing. But still, a great version.
