Very strong outro jam. Jerry may have had shaky fingers but he really busted his ass to deliver here.

Jerry is absolutely dialed in, hot solo. Basically unknown show due to only AUDs avail.

Really beautiful version, Jerry clearly emotionally invested in the delivery. Great playing too despite the year. Worth a listen.

Shakedown Street
June 1, 1991
Los Angeles Coliseum

Massively hot sleeper version, this one flew so far under the radar I hadn’t listened to it til today. Unreal end jam, Bruce and Bobby and Jerry pull some fantastic themes and peaks together.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 18, 1990
Deer Creek Music Theater

China is great and so is the transition. Rider leaves a little to be desired especially in the headlight verse, but it’s very speedy and fun.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Truly the best version of the 90s (and maybe of the whole post Keith era). The second Rider solo with Bruce leading into Jerry RIPPING is so hot. Fantastic transition jam as well, super exploratory and fun.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 26, 1980
Oakland Auditorium Arena

Definitely underrated version. Scarlet is perfect and Jerry brings the heat for Fire. Lyrics are nailed too. Winter 1980 shows after the acoustic run were all uniformly very hot!
Jack Straw
Sept. 17, 1994
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Legitimately hot. Great end solo, Jerry shreds.
