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.

Right out of the chutes, no warm-up high octane Dead. Cool Brent solo drives into a MANIC Jerry jam.

Hell yeah this is the top performance of this beautiful song. It's outstanding.

Kicks off a triplet of Garcia songs. This version is smooth and transitions sweetly into Comes a Time. Beautiful.

I love Jerry's run up the neck to start the 2nd solo. And Keith's got the honky tonk keys going on. Like it!

Vote here for Brent's solo alone. Great stuff.
