Ship of Fools

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Part of a great overall show at the Greek. I don't necessarily seek out SOF, but JG is on point on this one, both in his playing and vocals.

1981 is chock full of good Altheas, and this is one. A bunch of cool JG riffs - surprised this isn't listed. Solid show.

Really love early Brent era Stellas (‘79-82). Jerry is excellent throughout this show, and this Stella is no exception. Could be a tad longer though.

This entire show needs more love on here. Some cool Jerry guitar on this.

Love both the '82 & '83 Red Rocks runs, and each includes a great Loser. 7.29.82 & 9.7.83. This is a heater - Jerry rocks the big solo. Check her out!

Hard to Handle

Perhaps the only GD song where the #1 version is so obvious. Epic on all levels, but Jerry goes nuts. #1 with a bullet!
Death Don't Have No Mercy

Avalon Ballroom

Epic Jerry blues. I think I might still give the slight edge to 10.12.68, but these are like 1a & 1b in my view. Great stuff.

Thank you, Mr, Garcia! I once my commented that there’s no debate about this being the best DDHNM of all time. It’s still #1 IMO, but that 1.26.69 version sounds pretty damn good too.

This thing could be the best Stranger ever. Without question Top 5. Heater from start to finish.

Frost Amphitheatre

Yeah there is some great Jerry guitar work on this one. And of course some epic Bobby freak outs.
