Dillon Stadium

Jerry's in primal Viola Lee mode more than per country twang.

Selland Arena

What an ending jam. Jerry improvises astonishing structures with ease and fluency. The others are right there with him.

Bursting with feeling and well-played by all.

Blazing version of this wild song. Lots of fun.

Jerry's solo is so articulate -- immaculately constructed. Some very fine stuff.

To Lay Me Down
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

Extraordinary phrasing and unfaltering execution elevates this version of a song I don't always enjoy. I loved this.
Sugaree
Sept. 6, 1980
State Fairgrounds

It's a cliche to say it... but I'm astonished this one isn't ranked higher. This is an explosive Sugaree.
They Love Each Other
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

Maybe the best damn version I've ever heard.
Eyes Of The World
July 31, 1982
Manor Downs

Love the atonal Brent-led jam out of this Eyes into Drums.
The Eleven
Aug. 23, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

The E minor jam at the end is perhaps the most ferocious of such jams that I've heard.
