Excellent energy and Jerry led jamming to start a smoking show

The Palladium

I typically find the post '72 versions of this song to be a bit of filler, but this one has some nice accents from Keith and some ramp-up ending chaw

Wharf Rat

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Relatively short, given later incarnations, but this one has wonderful energy behind it, deliberate playing, and a delicate finish

The Drums is fine/good, but this one is great to cleary hear some spunion shout "holy fucking, SHIT!" on the SBD. Someone's mind = blown... Priceless

So Many Roads
Oct. 1, 1994
Boston Garden

This one is spot on
Tennessee Jed
Dec. 14, 1971
Hill Auditorium

This obviously wasn't the opener; Mac auto-type fail
Bertha
July 4, 1989
Rich Stadium

I could NOT get this to post. I tried and it came out as 1/1/65. Bar none, my favorite Bertha. The mid jam is absolutely sublime. Jerry hit a perfect note that will forever standout in my head
Walking Blues
July 1, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

I don't even necessarily like this song, but the buys crush this front to back. Bobby even has some nice supportive axe work
Smokestack Lightnin'
June 24, 1985
River Bend Music Center

Jeeze, He's Gone -> Smokestack -> Cryptical -> Drums -> (Awesome) Space. Hard to ask for a better sequence. Bad ass
