When I Paint My Masterpiece
May 6, 1990
California State University Dominguez Hills
Jerry's solo is on point, really precise and eloquent.

Sugar Magnolia
July 21, 1974
Hollywood Bowl
Wildly exuberant both before and after "SSDD" vocals. And Billy is all over this great AUD.

Casey Jones
Nov. 23, 1973
County Coliseum
Swings and shimmies before busting out the heavy artillery.

Friend of the Devil
Oct. 25, 1989
Miami Arena
Played pretty fast (for the slow version) and heavy with MIDI and spirited playing. Not to everyone’s taste, perhaps, but I like it!

Ramble On Rose
Oct. 22, 1989
Charlotte Coliseum
Sparkling rendition. Fans of upbeat '89 versions like 7/7 should check this out.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Sept. 4, 1980
Providence Civic Center
Whoa.
The Other One
Sept. 4, 1980
Providence Civic Center
This is a worthy version. Very primal-sounding at points.
China Doll
Oct. 6, 1984
Richmond Coliseum
Several spine-tingling moments in the extended jam. These ’83-’84 China Dolls are in a class of their own.
Ramble On Rose
Aug. 5, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Arena
The quintessential ’74 version? Jerry simply cuts up the instrumental break. Simultaneously jagged and deeply groovy.
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 8, 1983
Richmond Coliseum
If I could only listen to Playin’ from one post-retirement year, it’d probably be 1983. This is a great example of why. Absolutely deranged. I can only imagine what would have happened if they’d let this one go on longer and melt down completely.
