Morning Dew
Nov. 22, 1985
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

I just lost my touring buddy on Saturday. This was his favorite song and this is the version that most makes me think of him. So it’s what I’ve been listening to as I miss my friend and brother. This is powerful version very measured and assured it’s really a special performance. Phil and jerry are totally on point. This is a GREAT version.
Sugar Magnolia

Sports Palace

This is truly a great high energy pumped up version. With that extra kick. Should be closer to the top.
Morning Dew

Fillmore East

There is no such thing as the dew. One of the dews sure. But the song is too damn powerful to just have one version be called the dew.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Oct. 13, 1994
Madison Square Garden

Maybe the only song where my go to version is from 1994. This one is as close to perfect as art can get.

This is top shelf. What a blast of energy Garcia is on fire. His leads are bubbling and beautiful. The lyrics are crisp and the band is nailing it. Keith twinkling beautifully a truly great Bertha
