A studio-quality solo by Jerry, improvised from the stage at Barton Hall. Fills your heart with joy.

Memorial Coliseum

This is an absolutely gorgeous version of this song. Some nice flourishes by Keith, beautiful duet-type vocals by Bobby and Donna, and great playing by the whole band. A remakable and memorable performance.

Winterland Arena

This is the best version of this song, from any period. Jerry had recently gotten his Doug Irwin Wolf guitar back, and the tone he achieves in this playing is just gorgeous. His soloing is strong, inspired, and passionate, and brings the whole band up a couple of notches in intensity. And this is the show opener! Absolute first-rate Jerry.

Winterland Arena

5/8/77 and 5/22/77 are also great (beyond great) renditions, but this is the definitive version of Morning Dew.
