Big Deal
I always love the Big 'Deal(s)' and especially of the Brent era, with the extra jam at the end. This Deal seems extra good even by the big jam standards, Jerry really goes off! The 4/4 Providence is a nice example of the Sailor/Saint into Deal combo wether segued or sequential. Bro. Esau and Friend ...Devil are a nice pairing preceding the song coupling. Classic '80z!
