Dire Wolf
March 29, 1991
Nassau Coliseum

First Dire Wolf of the Vince era - and the playing kills as always. Just a line is butchered but a great rendition of this campfire song regardless

Vince only - and he does quite a fine job. Jerry helps pack a punch as always

Samson and Delilah

Internationales Congress Centrum

Very hot Samson coming out of Eyes. Check out the transition from Eyes into Samson, will not disappoint

New Speedway Boogie

Cal Expo

Nice first set choice - Jerry flubs some lyrics but the playing is great. Note that this is a Vince only '91 show and he kills

Aiko Aiko

Charlotte Coliseum

Vince and Bruce dueling on this Iko is one of the best glimmers of a sparkling summer tour
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
March 24, 1986
The Spectrum

Clearly a comment on Jerry's health at this point - probably the reason why the only Post Space song was a killer Dew :/
Stella Blue
Sept. 6, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Nice Mind Left Body Jam to start off this Stella - serene like the ocean waves :)
Uncle John's Band
Sept. 9, 1982
Saenger Performing Arts Center

At first I liked it just for the novelty, but honestly it might just be one of the most pleasant UJB's I've heard from this era
Shakedown Street
Sept. 22, 1991
Boston Garden

Arguably best Shakedown of '91, at the very least tied with 6/22. Bruce's playing throughout makes it sparkle
