Wow! One of, if not the, best performances of El Paso post Godchaux era.

Oakland Auditorium

Jerry’s noodling! One of the best post-hiatus versions! And sandwiched inbetween two of the greatest shows ever.

Let The Good Times Roll
Dec. 31, 1988
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Really? Some bad flubs here. I'd put this at the bottom of the list. The whole things sounds barely held together.
Lost Sailor

Oakland Auditorium

First version played and I genuinely think this is the best Lost Sailor i’ve heard instrumentally. Jerry is just rentless, like stones skipping across the water… or bullets.
Mexicali Blues
Oct. 26, 1971
The Palestra, U. of Rochester

Wow
Casey Jones
March 1, 1992
The Omni

Respectfully, you couldn’t have made a post on the Grateful Dead subreddit or any other forum? This website is for performance rankings, not Q&A. it’s misleading, Casey Jones was never played on this date. The show you’re thinking of is 6/20/92 RFK
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 21, 1985
Hampton Coliseum

Best China > Rider of the 80s? Hot version!!!!
