Stand out solo at the end - Jerry doesn't pull off every lick, but it's still pretty good

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 15, 1983
Civic Center

This one just "clicked" for me today. A truly inspired Playin' from an era I usually overlook. Special from about 3 minutes in right up until the end.

Robertson Gym, UC Santa Barbara

I think this is actually the best. It's admittedly mellow, but Jerry is dialed in. Consistently sharp and inventive playing throughout. I don't think there's one lead line that's completely by the book.
Promised Land

Swing Auditorium

Promised Land is not my cup of tea, but this one was fun
Crazy Fingers

Orpheum Theatre

Give this one a minute. Really takes off in the ending jam around 7:30, which feels very 72 to me.

"yeah! yeah!" (pause) "oh no!"
