Expertly rendered. Bobby provides terrific atmospheric coloration. Jerry just rocks out through the whole thing.

Philadelphia Civic Arena

Zippy, choogling BIODTL with a great groove.

Space

Charlotte Coliseum

More than usually haunted Space raves and knocks around before cooling a funky, colorful Other One intro.

Dupree's Diamond Blues

Charlotte Coliseum

The playing is perfect fairground calliope blues. You won’t care about the fudged lyrics or scratchy singing.

Capitol Center

Powerful ending with Phil thumping away high on the fretboard. > Drums.

St. Stephen
Feb. 14, 1970
Fillmore East

It was too played on this date.
Foolish Heart
March 20, 1991
Capital Centre

Just enchanting. Jerry and Bruce harmonize on a unique, trancelike outro that itself is a clever variation on the signature riff(s).
Not Fade Away
Aug. 30, 1980
The Spectrum

Are you kidding me?! Hot! August - September ’80 is terrific, one of the brightest points of the entire decade.
Me and My Uncle
May 24, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Jerry lets himself get carried away to great results.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 4, 1990
Sandstone Amphitheatre

The transition is abrupt, and Jer messes up some of the lyrics. If you can get past that, this is a great version! Both halves are played with panache and are stuffed with interesting passages.
