Jerry's in primal Viola Lee mode more than per country twang.

Selland Arena

What an ending jam. Jerry improvises astonishing structures with ease and fluency. The others are right there with him.

Jerry's solo is so articulate -- immaculately constructed. Some very fine stuff.

@TheBusCameBy and others -- you can vote for 3/18/91 songs at the following link: http://headyversion.com/show/2079/grateful-dead/1991-03-18/ There's a bug on this site that makes it difficult to find a lot of submissions when scrolling through the song pages. It sometimes takes some patience to land on a show page.

Very cool and different jam — kind of like one of the grooves on In a Silent Way — in the few minutes before > Iko.

Olympiahalle

This is one of the fastest Dead performances, of any song, I've ever heard -- and it never falls apart! It might be uncomfortably fast for some, but man, this just zips.
