I have a new respect for TJ lately because of Jerry's long solo at the end. It's always different, and this is a cool one.

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Part of a great overall show at the Greek. I don't necessarily seek out SOF, but JG is on point on this one, both in his playing and vocals.

1981 is chock full of good Altheas, and this is one. A bunch of cool JG riffs - surprised this isn't listed. Solid show.

Really love early Brent era Stellas (‘79-82). Jerry is excellent throughout this show, and this Stella is no exception. Could be a tad longer though.

This entire show needs more love on here. Some cool Jerry guitar on this.

This entire show is vastly underrated - this is no exception.
Box of Rain

This show is vastly underrated, as is this Box of Rain. Keith is fantastic throughout.

Fantastic. Top 5 no question.
Hard to Handle

Hollywood Palladium

Perhaps the only GD song where the #1 version is so obvious. Epic on all levels, but Jerry goes nuts. #1 with a bullet!
Death Don't Have No Mercy

Avalon Ballroom

Epic Jerry blues. I think I might still give the slight edge to 10.12.68, but these are like 1a & 1b in my view. Great stuff.
