A very strange opening - it sounds like Jerry doesn't want to play it.

Its All Over Now
Oct. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Oh yeah - Jerry gets into it and sounds good, too.
Maggie's Farm
Oct. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Sparkling piano playing from Senor Hornsby and Phil really gets into his vocals. One of the best versions out there.
Black Peter
Oct. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

A Black Peter that even people who don't like Black Peter will like.
The Other One
Oct. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This isn't one of those heart pounders charging out of the gate. Still, the energy and focus is there and the band is very into this one.
Space

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

A nice Space loaded with The Other One noodling - and yes - they do eventually come to play it.
