Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

Dark with stanky Jerry riffs over Bobby whammy work. Right in my wheelhouse but might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Whole band flexes their muscles on this one - press play and watch the room spin.

Greek Theatre - University of California

Ack! this is tight not quite as crazoid as my favorite 4/19/84.. but very similar. Same year so makes sense.

The CA Earthquake is just massive and only played twice I think - would nominate it in a heartbeat. Closed the 1st set and then they come out to party with a Hey Pocky. Watch Jerry tell a little story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zkbm0uEU2w
Cryptical Envelopment

Robertson Gym, U.C.S.B.

The beat down starts at 3:10 and does not let up until the band pounds the audience into dust.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

The Spectrum

RD's are locked down tight, Phil is strapped and Jerry's got an extra clip - they crush this one and then throw in a sweet AWBYGN cherry.. yes please. While not 71-72 this is premo for 80's.
She Belongs To Me

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Jerry singing Dylan - ain't nothin better...'cept maybe the Indy 500.
