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.

One of my favorite outro jams. Jerry, distortion and Billy's speed drumming.

This bustout version doesn't get enough love. Understood it's not 72 jammy but the ending is the heaviest of Dead. Hey Cuse, I have always wanted to tab Phil's ending jam. It would sure take awhile.

Jerry digs into this final solo. Energy show finished off right!

Yes indeed. This Stephen>NotFade>Stephen is just exactly perfect. The NotFade is a powerful piece of music, for sure.
