I...can't believe I'm submitting this...but Jerry lays down a very good solo worth hearing once.

Torched rendition. 5/26 gets all the attention but 5/27 is pretty fucking excellent as well.

Jerry modifies the intro and delivers a riveting solo later on.

Sugar Magnolia

Merriweather Post Pavilion

This is a contender for my favorite individual Dead performance of all time. Others may be more musically interesting or technically sound, but the energy leaping out of this one is phenomenal. And Bob's rap is just icing on a very delicious cake.
Sugaree

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

My personal fave "Sugaree." It has a very mournful sound in the wake of Bill Graham's death and it just goes on and on with Jerry in fine form. This show and the Halloween one are my two favorite post-Brent shows.
