“It’s polka time!” Shouts Bobby at the beginning of this one! Honored to submit this one. Absolute rager from an underrated show.

Stunning organ parts that take the song to a different level. Feels like I'm going down a lazy river without a care in the world.

Civic Arena

Horns!! Let it Grow is already on here but the Whole suite needs love. When the horns come in you can't help but smile. Pure and beautiful.

Capital Centre

Stunning version. Sung with lots of passion, and during the solo, Jerry lets Wolf run loose and lets her howl. Great version from a great show!

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.

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.

Adams Field House, U of Montana

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