Jerry's chromatics liquified my face. Total acid-drenched mindmeld.

The amp tubes are glowing white-hot and the Boys are not letting up. Face-meltingly hot.

Feel Like A Stranger
May 16, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

If this version was a pair of jeans, it'd be so tight you'd have to cut them off with scissors.

Copps Coliseum

Jerry's solo is so damn juicy that I accidentally put it in a glass and served it with breakfast. No one will ever produce guitar riffs like he did- simple yet hyperintelligent, loose yet surgically-precise.

Jerry loved Maine, and the boys played there disproportionately often for such a sparsely populated state. Every single Maine show has that heavy yet loose/carefree psych-funk energy to it.
Playin' In The Band

Universal Amphitheatre

The Dead are really a jazz group. This version is prime evidence of that.
The Other One
Dec. 7, 1968
Bellarmine College

Jerry may as well have taken the entire crowd and dunk-tanked them in a vat of LSD.
