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.

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
Feb. 17, 1979
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.

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.
