NFA as a Jerry tune? Yup, here it is! "But you drive me back -- huh!" Hell yes!

Overlooked GEM! Swift yet deeply felt. Jerry CRUSHES it.

Cumberland Blues
Dec. 31, 1982
Oakland Auditorium

This is a great verison, but I couldn't find it listed under "Cumberland Blues" -- I had to navigate to the show via "Day Job" to vote for it. It's a real shame this AWESOME site has these little glitches!

My personal favorite.
Pretty Peggy O
May 6, 1989
Frost Amphitheatre

This is a great Peggy-O. But I think it's overlooked here because of a glitch. When I search for it under "Peggy-O," it's not there. I had to find my way to it by finding another song from 5/6/89, then selecting the SHOW -- which is a real pain in the ass. Anyway, it's a great one. Check it out!
Wharf Rat
June 25, 1995
RFK Stadium

I agree with all the comments here. This is a truly wrenching Wharf Rat. Don't miss the Brokedown Palace encore either. It seems that Jerry finally got his shit together post-Drums/Space. I posted a speed-corrected copy of this show on bt.etree.org. Check it out: http://bt.etree.org/details.php?torrentId=607237.
Dark Star
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

^^^ I'm not a fan of belittling other people's comments, but... "crashy noise"? "Random noise"? I'm... stunned. I've always considered this Dark Star to be sublimely, hauntingly melodic.
