Jerry's voice was still weak from laryngitis, but his guitar made up for it, ripping and roaring!

Friday the 13th, super brief, but it's there between Dancin' and Wharf Rat, both great versions!

There was nothing like a Terrapin in the Garden! Into drums-quick-weird-almost-Close Encounters-Spanish Jam-rip-roaring Truckin' in the Garden....

One of the best ever! Truly shocked it ain’t higher. Keith’s keys make it extra special....

Scary and powerful Other One. Made me realize there are no entries for I Will Take You Home, which is a shame. The one leading into this is a favorite. Contrary to what Others may have felt, Take You Home never interfered with the flow of a show for me. It was different for sure, and some felt it was out of place... But really, it was a beautiful Brent ballad....
