Listen to Phil on this one. Then listen to Bobby.

The Fox theater

OK, I'll say it: "I can't believe this isn't on here." Majestic, powerful MD. Jerry on a mission. Bobby playing clippety-cloppety sounds in the coda.

Jerry sinks his teeth into this jam. A wonder to behold.

Arguably the version in which Bobby forgot the fewest lyrics. Also great, imaginative playing by Jerry throughout.

Civic Center

From the cold depths of 1985 comes a truly great MSWS. Drums are tight, Phil and Bobby sound great, and Jerry repeatedly comes up with gold.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Uptempo version with Jerry on fire.
Terrapin Station

Winterland Arena

One of the great things about Jerry is his fuck it attitude when he forgets lyrics. Here he goes into an extended, unique solo. When he does sing there's an interesting sad quality to his voice. Coda is burning.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

They sound happy to be back
Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 16, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

Everyone sounds great here. Love the chromatic intro. This show is underrated because of the mythology of the Dead blowing the big ones. The first show was awful, the second one was bad, and this one was awesome.

A beautiful piece of music from beginning to end
