Slinky and smooth. Jerry and Brent tear it. Great ‘84 version.

San Jose Civic Auditorium

Board mix issues aside, this is a tight August ‘72 rendition where everyone is in the pocket.

A nice little gem where the band is locked in and Jerry is in the zone. The final jam really shines

The final part of the jam into drums is incredible! Blown away this hasn’t been listed yet
Not Fade Away
Oct. 6, 1977
Activity Center. Arizona State U

The high energy never lets up for a single second until they flawlessly go into the MLB jam, then drop back into the insanity. Completely savage version.
Terrapin Station
May 11, 1980
Cumberland County Civic Center

A red-hot rock n’ roll Terrapin executed with precision and passion. This is a bombastic masterpiece and the best version I’ve come across in ages. As always, listen to the matrix recording and crank it up! The boys were on fire this night.
