Both Jerry solos are absolutely transcendental. Probably my new favorite version of the year.

Top notch energetic and jazzy jam out of this version, with a cool little noodle/space section before they dissolve into drums.

Fantastic play by Jerry; the post verse jamming especially soars with emotion and intensity.

Jack Straw

Meadowlands Arena

Coming from a hardcore pre-hiatus guy, this might just be the best Jack Straw ever.
Mind Left Body Jam

Winterland Arena

One of the best parts of an otherworldly Dark Star. Probably in my top 5 MLBs.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

The one released on the Dick's Picks is 2/28/73, FYI. And it's an excellent version, possibly the best before they started playing the "Feelin' Groovy" jam bridge to Rider.

Really unique version with the jam leading in...sounds just like a mellow summer evening.

A+ perfect version. Keith's keyboard fills make this one.
