Lovin' -> Half-Step to open. Punchy, rocking combo.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 28, 1985
Frost Amphitheatre

This spicy version won't blow any minds but closes out a totally solid and enjoyable first set. Jerry's got the spices flowing for the Rider solo.

Dark Star
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

People pay so much attention to the Kesey rap, it's easy to ignore that this "Dark Star" itself is pretty spectacular: very spacey meltdown. Also, the last split version and the last one where both verses were played in the same show.
Let It Grow
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Excellent version.
The Other One
Oct. 27, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

Did we just declare war? Phil's bombs are frightening here. Monster version.
Estimated Prophet
Dec. 16, 1994
Sports Arena

Just listened to this one last night. This one should be way higher. A truly out there version; this is the "Estimated" equivalent of the Miami '89 "Dark Star." It's terrifying at points.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 8, 1992
Richfield Coliseum

This is an absolutely fantastic late day China Cat -> Rider and should be way higher. It just ROARS!
