Tight reading of this classic.

Not Fade Away

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

Shoreline Amphitheatre

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

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.

Samba In The Rain
Oct. 18, 1994
Madison Square Garden

Why does it need to be a contest? "Samba," "Wave," "Shoe Fits," "Childhood's End," "Easy Answers," they are all shit.
The Wheel
Feb. 17, 1979
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

"The Wheel" was indeed turning and a new era of the band was about to begin.
Don't Ease Me In

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

One of the most effective versions of a pretty limited song. The vocals are indeed quite nice.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

No nonsense version. You could tell they missed playing this one. Keith is even awake here. Jerry's playing like a madman. They ambush this one.
Man Smart, Woman Smarter

Cal Expo

Show is wall to wall highlights and sounds like it could've came from the post-coma renaissance period of 1987-91 as opposed to the troubled pre-coma period. Great set list and the playing is absolutely spectacular throughout.
