Talk about a sleeper...along with the "PITB" before it, this is probably the last time the Grateful Dead really went the distance in terms of jamming.

Searing work from Brent in a typically strong 1989 version. Surprised this was represented from a legendary show.

Rockin' version from the summer of '89.

Creepy crawly version with lots of different themes and moods just like all good Spaces.

Little Red Rooster

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

I'm not big on post-Brent versions of this song: his 'henhouse' verse made it for me. But this is a monster: Jerry just tears it a new asshole. One of the highlights of one of the best shows of 1991.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Shit, this version is hot, and I'm normally not a "Sailor -> Saint" fan. Bob's vocals are so animated here.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 23, 1995
Charlotte Coliseum

Another one whose ranking confuses me. Every 1991 version with Bruce outranks this one. How 9/4/1991 or even 10/31/1991 have so few votes in comparison is strange.

I used to not like this one because of the accordian, but there's so much soul in Jerry's delivery on this one.

Heartbreaking. So much soul here.
