Jerry's solos are as meticulously crafted as a spider web. Fluid, soulful, energetic. Great mid-80s' "Eyes."

Brent completely dominates this "Rooster."

Monster version that takes an already great show into 'epic' territory. Jerry sings and plays like a professional criminal here.

My favorite version from one of the best Dead shows I've ever heard. Jerry's on fire and the drummers are dynamite. Best one I've heard.

This may be my favorite. Jerry's vocals and playing are both lovely.

Sounds like they tease "Satisfaction" at the beginning.

Brent is outstanding here.

Upvoting this to draw attention to how spectacularly horrendous this performance is. It's something to behold.

I was just about ask that...the key for "Fire" is different. What an outlier. Bruce is great here and outshines Jerry, who's rarely sounded froggier. I think 4/7/85 is the only show where I've heard him sound worse.
