Comes A Time
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

My favorite part of this legendary solo is the way Jerry does that double string bend at the end, and leads it into that beautiful silent ambient outro. The solo is really just a masterpiece of proportions I don’t think I’ll ever be able to comprehend.

Heads up to everyone this version is actually on the download series vol 1 as a bonus at the end, great recording there.
Estimated Prophet

Hartford Civic Center

Perfect dynamics for Estimated, one of May 77’s best
Sugaree

Hartford Civic Center

Sugaree in its prime, and this is really Jerry on top of his game for nearly 20 minutes. Beautiful, and credit to the rhythm devils for making a real swingy vibe that Jerry definitely used to his advantage here.
Not Fade Away
Nov. 15, 1971
The Austin Municipal Auditorium

One of my favorite jams ever! Smoking down in Texas ! Hot!!!!
