Tight reading of this classic.

Not Fade Away
March 24, 1993
Dean Smith Center

Very hot version. Gets bogged down in too many bop-bops, but the mid-jam is fiery at this great 1993 show.

Black Throated Wind
May 12, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Another great 1991 version. On the new 30 Days of Dead for 2019 along with a smoking "Deal."

Morning Dew

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

In no way does this compare to the Mount Rushmore version on 3/27/94, but a solid take with a very good finale.

The Other One
June 20, 1983
Merriweather Post Pavilion

Coming out of Bob's "Bob Star" rap. Not the leanest, meanest, longest or most jammed out version, but good in its own way and Jerry does some work.

This is a contender for my favorite individual Dead performance of all time. Others may be more musically interesting or technically sound, but the energy leaping out of this one is phenomenal. And Bob's rap is just icing on a very delicious cake.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

My personal fave "Sugaree." It has a very mournful sound in the wake of Bill Graham's death and it just goes on and on with Jerry in fine form. This show and the Halloween one are my two favorite post-Brent shows.
