Don't Ease Me In
April 13, 1989
Rosemont Horizon

Great set closer. Jerry is top notch and Brent was at his best when he behind a B3.

Cassidy

Rosemont Horizon

Excellent Cassidy with deep jam, Jerry and Brent throwing colors on the canvas.

Pretty Peggy O
April 13, 1989
Rosemont Horizon

Just a perfect Peggy-O. Jerry's voice is so strong and his solo is melodic, band doesn't rush and Brent has some nice textures from his keys.

The Stone

New Bear's Sonic Journals release sounds AMAZING!

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
March 24, 1971
Winterland Arena

“Don’t wanna be beaten this old way…” Shorter, with just a single solo, but extremely powerful performance that could have been on Skull N Roses

Deal
May 5, 1977
New Haven Coliseum

I'm also alarmed that a Deal this smokin' has only 8 votes- there's nothing that the Cornell version has that this one doesn't. Jerry's singing and soloing, the band's rhythm and dynamics, even the sound quality of the Betty Board- it's all as strong or stronger than Cornell.
Bird Song
June 10, 1973
RFK Stadium

Maybe it's just the mix, but to me the real star of this Bird Song is Phil. Keith in the left channel and Jerry in the right are doing gorgeous, awe-inspiring things, but loud in the center is that bass. Deep, heavy frequencies but a light, melodic touch.
Loose Lucy
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

Second-ever Loose Lucy rocks! This is also the only time this tune ever opened a show, which is a shame because here it’s a perfect opener.
The Other One
April 28, 1971
Fillmore East

An entire side of vinyl dedicated to this dynamic performance, and it sits sadly on page 5 for this song. If you've not listened to this one in a while, you might be surprised by it's unique sound; just Jerry Bob Phil and Billy, recorded between Primal-Dead and Jazz-Dead. Power and grace.
Playin' In The Band
May 13, 1973
Iowa State Fairgrounds

improved sound quality from the most recent boxset hopefully turns more people on to this one: https://youtu.be/D0qUfpB7wzo
