Jerry and Bobby create a beautiful space before TOO. A conversation in strings. Billy and Mickey create primal, carnivorous music. Hunting music.

Palais Des Sports

What a crown jewel Pretty Peggy O can be. A truly tender version that washes away all my worries. These 74 versions are quite special.

The Dead take the Parisians through a cowboys surrealist day dream. Check out how both Keith and Jerry are utterly locked into the music.

Blossoms and blooms like a shining red rose. I really love the energy for this show.

1974 and Ship of Fools go together like peanut butter and jelly. Full of emotion. They're really giving their all in this.

77 Sugaree’s. Can you really go wrong? I’m particular picky with mine but this has the GOODS. Jerry is playing beyond himself and is truly with the music. Subtle yet so sharp. Endearing and so compassionate. Chills.

Not even the best version that night

Universal Amphitheatre

Super awesome version. There a lick that Jerry plays at the 3 minute mark that literally gives me chills everytime I hear it. Gets deep and spacey VERY fast. Dark Star is so awesome man.

Donna gave me chills on this one. Top tier standalone version. Just perfect, just letting the music play.
