Loser
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Phil drops some serious bombs to complement Jerry’s ringing leads.

Pretty Peggy O
Aug. 24, 1980
Grand Center

Jerry’s solo is a fountain of melodic exuberance, reminiscent of the BEW earlier in the set.

Wharf Rat
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Worth switching to the AUD to hear the explosive ending after the SBD cuts out. Just awe-inspiring.

Drums -> Space
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Freaky electro Drums. In Space, listen for Bobby’s wild playing shortly before Jerry segues into Miracle.

Me and Bobby McGee

The Spectrum

Tight, energetic, heartfelt rendition of this era staple.

Greatest Story Ever Told
May 17, 1974
P.N.E. Coliseum

Some *funky* playing by Keith before the Stephen jam, too.
Me and My Uncle
May 17, 1974
P.N.E. Coliseum

SMOKING! What was this doing with just one vote when I got here?
Not Fade Away
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

I heard MLB for a few seconds right before the pivot to Nobody’s Fault. It’s there.
Black Peter
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

This is an exquisite Peter from a great year for that song.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 28, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

My only complaint? The Fire, although hardly slight at 12 minutes, sounds like it could have gone on for a few more. The inspiration is seemingly right there.
