You know the crew is feeling spritely and in a cowboy mood when they play this, blessed frequently in '89 with it.

Sweet, sweet, down-home and yokey Jerry.

The Same Thing

Buckeye Lake Music Center

Pigpen cut revived for the 90's with the group in kind of a slow crawling king snake vibe. Vince knows how to lay down some organ. Top late form.

Terrapin Station

Shoreline Amphitheatre

this version paints a Rembrandt of the infinity of matter. Seminal. At over 30 minutes before becoming space, it is a billionaire deluxe experience of groupthink cruising through galaxies with urgent authority. magical version. I am surprised that this doesn't come up every time when talking about the best. Stands with any version.

Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

2nd dark star jam out of drumz, sounds like Weir is playing funky or almost RHCP style midi wrist work, while the Garcia/Marsalis/Hornsby conference glides into new extrasensory meltdowns. The most amazingly unhinged stuff.

Sparse, quiet, brooding, sensitive version. exquisite comes a time melt.
