So Many Roads

Dean Smith Center - University of North Carolina

This song seemed to bring out the best in Jerry's singing in the final years. This version's no different. And the guitar solo's lovely too.

Jerry giving it some fiery filigree, rhythm section cookin' and Brent adding sweet colour.

I'm probably in the minority but I much prefer the electric stuff from this show. This has got such a lazy, loping groove with everyone feeling it.

Band feeds off the crowd. Lovely keys on this and a full-on vocal from Garcia, despite a couple of very minor flubs.

Rosemont Horizon

I know it's a cliché but I genuinely was surprised not to find this take here already. Everyone's on it. Dreamy but exact.

Really swings.

Love that mellow, mellifluous, semi-acoustic jamming.

Sweet as a nut. I like the transition from Estimated too. There's a few seconds where you think they might not make it but they stumble with style into the Eyes groove.
