It Must Have Been The Roses
Oct. 2, 1976
Riverfront Arena
Sung passionately, played precisely. Just exactly perfect version.

Its All Over Now
Oct. 2, 1976
Riverfront Arena
Unusually professional sounding for a cover. This one is nice and tight with just the right amount of bounce.

In full command of the Wall’s sonic clarity, Jerry executes on some softer, more intricate lead parts. Lovely version.

Little Red Rooster
April 2, 1989
Civic Arena
The Brent-driven portion of the jam is downright smoldering. The rest of the band can't resist getting in on the action.

Dancin' in the Streets
Nov. 2, 1969
Family Dog at the Great Highway
A lost masterpiece, now restored on the new Dave's Picks! The once-missing jam is a face-stealer.

Eyes Of The World
April 22, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium
Some enthusiastic soloing for Jerry capped off by a triumphant closing jam into a top-shelf Rhythm Devils. Maybe the best version of '78?
New Minglewood Blues
May 4, 1977
The Palladium
I love Keith's solo on this, it has more of that barroom piano feel that was common pre-hiatus than any other Minglewood I've ever heard.
Let It Grow
Oct. 2, 1976
Riverfront Arena
Some really tricky, inventive leads from Jerry. There are more epic versions, to be sure, but this one has some unique spunk that makes it worth seeking out.
The Other One
March 26, 1972
Academy of Music
These shows marginalized as warmup for Europe, but the main jam segment, including this Other One is every bit on the same plane as the Europe 72 second sets.
