Deal
March 15, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

It swings to a funky swagger; Jerry is in top form here. I think it's the best Deal from the spring '73 tour!

Deal
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

It struts & swaggers in that honey, country-tinged '73 way that we've come to relish & rely on. From one of the best shows from one of the best years.

Easy Wind
May 7, 1970
DuPont Gym - MIT

A version all true heads should love, or at least hear once.

Monkey and the Engineer
Dec. 31, 1970
Winterland Arena

Jerry's sweet voice is extra sweet & clear during the chorus for this version than the ones from October, 1980.

Mason's Children
Jan. 24, 1970
Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Monster Mason's. Can't believe this one isn't here yeat. Cleanest, most coherent version. Jerry's guitar tone is pure gold.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

What more can be added to all the showering accolades that this version has already received? Just sit (or dance) and marvel. An all-timer for sure!
Dire Wolf

Huntington Civic Center

Vocally speaking, Jerry lends an extra touch of unique phrasing on this one. He really demonstrates the character in this song with feeling.
Estimated Prophet

Huntington Civic Center

The middle solo makes it for me. The Mutron is Jerry's muse.
New Minglewood Blues
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

A rough, raw & raunchy reading right here. Everyone fully delivers, but Jerry's solos have extra grit to exhume. A definitive version.
Pretty Peggy O

Huntington Civic Center

I resisted the Pretty Peggy O for a number of years, but was finally seduced by her from this night! Jerry's chops are sweet and his voice even sweeter. Happy to say I got caught in the rapture of love for this one.
