A great one from summer '90. Vocals are crisp, musically the organ work is great and the band is tight and all in the flow.

Jerry solo for most of it with some effects from time to time. Unique. And then it goes into Dew

This song is not really in a "heady" format, but I always liked it as a 1st set tune. This version is well.played as is this show.

Yes 1984. I love the ups that happen in this year. This version has a lot of great energy from the boys. Mid-song solo is very strong.

It's amazing to think that in a matter of only 10 days the Dead produced 3 of their most mind -numbing jams. This one being maybe the best.

Simply one of the best sequences ever. Phil's bass during the Spanish jam is the sound that acid makes.

Keith's awesome here but Bobby's guitar makes this one for me.

Definitely a Dark Star jam space. So very excellent.

Not sure what they did during d/s but they came back with razor focus.
