Pure shredding by Jerry. This is one of the fastest eyes I have ever heard. This is one coked out eyes, blazing, killer version.

Morning Dew
Aug. 24, 1972

Wicked dark star<dew, no question this is one of the best versions of the year. The range of sound is incredible They play as soft and as loud as they can and balance the song perfectly providing an absolutely perfect final crescendo.
Sugaree

Polished and ripping version from a great dicks pick.
Wharf Rat
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

IMHO the song can't get much better then how they played it on this night. Whole show presents the band in top form and this rat is right up there with the truckin' as the highlights from the performance.
