Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Nothing out of the ordinary, just a rock solid version coming out of Space towards the end of a terrific set. Great Jerry licks.

Drums -> Space

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Excellent D/S that capitalizes on the weirdness of the preceding "Uncle John's Band" meltdown.

He's Gone

Madison Square Garden

1994 gave us some great versions of this song. This one from the lauded MSG run is no exception.

Bright, peppy version from one the two or three truly great 1986 shows.

Just a solid well played version in a thoroughly enjoyable set. Jerry's on his game for this one.

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!
