Sweet jam in the middle of this Terrapin

An absolute flurry of energy. Scorching version

Show is proving to be a real hidden gem. Mt St Helens was allegedly erupting nearby for the 3rd time during Fire. Really hot Scarlet and on-point Fire

WOW! Quickly pushed to the top of my list for favorite version ever! Amazing initial jam, then they bring it to a whisper, then - massive peak (17min)

Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Copps Coliseum

Agree, not a note wasted and the notes between speak volumes. Not the longest version, but Jerry's leads are infectiously emotive

Jerry absolutely tears into this solo. Great chunky fills by Brent too. A bouncier version than usual. No second jam, sadly though
Not Fade Away

Hartford Civic Center

That jam before the segue into a really wonderful Rat completely makes this version
Playin' In The Band

Hartford Civic Center

Great call on the tone of Keith's keys. Adds a nice, understated spaciness to the jam. This second set is pure gold, start to finish

Go ahead and chalk this up as another prime example of cgarces being that dude that will not steer you wrong. Been a while since i heard this one, spun it on a run today, thought "oh, that was good," then spun again once i got back and was pretty floored. Jerry just does NOT want the jam segment in the middle to end. Just keeps pushing and it gets hotter and hotter. Very choice, and thanks for the prompting, C!
