Keith's fills really stand out. More of an elastic bouncy version than leaden thumping one.

Jerry and Bruce tear it up. Check out the sweet matrix!

Played and sung like they really mean it. This one's got that "X factor."

Ramble On Rose
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena

HUGE version right here. Heavy but never lumbering. The whole band is in peak form, although I’d be remiss if I didn’t single out one PHILIP LESH.
Cumberland Blues
June 23, 1974
Jai-Alai Fronton

Probably one of the latest versions to suggest the old Viola Lee Blues jams. One of the breaks really gets primal. Phenomenal.

Heckuva show opener!
Big River

Feyline Field

Jerry’s soloing is some of the hottest I’ve ever heard in Big River. Keith too exceeds my already lofty expectations.
Looks Like Rain

Greek Theatre - University of California

Brent's clever accompaniment helps the ending jam levitate and glide.
