Coming back to the site after 5 years to submit this gem of a bucket. HOT!

New Minglewood Blues
July 12, 1989
RFK Stadium

Brent scats and Jerry's solos are absolutely blazing...real nice sleeper here!

Bird Song
Dec. 6, 1980
Mill Valley Recreation Center

This acoustic version is very relaxed due to the intimate setting. Not too jammed out but something about it is very soothing

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

This set is an emotional roller coaster, and this Goin' Down the Road is a sweet way to continue it. Keith shines, as he does all show.

Dark Star
Dec. 26, 1969
McFarlin Auditorium, SMU

A little sloppy, but has a really excellent Tighten Up jam.

Dark Star
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

I'm always down for a sick transition and these are really dope. Jerry stays in dark star mode up until the first verse of MAMU, and the segue back into dark star is explosive before settling into spaciness and a creative transition into Sittin. The first Dark Star segment is beautiful jamming, btw
The Music Never Stopped
June 25, 1991
Sandstone Amphitheatre

It's a shame Jerry's low in all the mixes because he SHREDS. interesting work from the keys as well
He's Gone
Dec. 5, 1979
Uptown Theater

Had to listen after reading that statement. Deliberate, polished, and beautiful - good call
Stella Blue
Dec. 14, 1980
Long Beach Arena

Jerry starts a beautiful repeating riff in the outro jam - the whole band picks up on it and takes this Stella soaring before falling into Around and Around. Cannot believe this isn't better known
Loser
Dec. 14, 1980
Long Beach Arena

Ripping solo here, I'd recommend to anyone who likes Albany 1990. It's gems like this that make me love this site, thanks for pointing out this excellent show (and AUD)!
