Ok there were 5 of them. 2 out of 5 is not so bad. Playin'>Day Tripper is good stuff. I for one wanted more.

Right out of the chutes, no warm-up high octane Dead. Cool Brent solo drives into a MANIC Jerry jam.
Comes A Time
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

Hell yeah this is the top performance of this beautiful song. It's outstanding.
Bird Song
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Kicks off a triplet of Garcia songs. This version is smooth and transitions sweetly into Comes a Time. Beautiful.
New Minglewood Blues
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

I love Jerry's run up the neck to start the 2nd solo. And Keith's got the honky tonk keys going on. Like it!

Vote here for Brent's solo alone. Great stuff.
