How can this one not be on here? This is what early Bertha should sound like! Check out Billy K...

The very last time the Candyman came around. Also the last time I saw Jer, and I was right up front for this one.

Huge 80's LIG @ MSG. Really nice work from Weir. I'm surprised this one isn't ranked yet. Listen on 30 Days of the Dead from 2013

Szechuan Jerry...he's all sweet and hot on this one from the 30 Trips box. Spicy!

Extremely powerful version, especially for a west coast, afternoon show! Not perfect, but pretty underrated, and the last time I got to see Brent :(

Nice Hornsby-dominated latter-day version. Starts off the show and the tour with some serious juice!
Foolish Heart

Memorial Stadium

Jer has a real hard time with the lyrics here, but makes up for it in the jam!

Great, primal DS from back when Jerry still had that THICK Gibson tone...ahhhhh

Maybe not as grandiose as some others, but so RAW...if this ain't Primal Dead, I don't know what is
