Jerry's weathered voice and Brent's organ add depth and texture to this excellent version.

Morning Dew
Dec. 27, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

The first 2/3's of this "Dew" are absolutely incredible: the drummers are possessed, Bobby and Brent are on fire, and Jerry's vocals are among the most soulful he's ever layed down on a "Dew," and his mid-song solo is scorching. Unfortunately, Jerry's guitar completely goes out during the final jam, rendering an otherwise spectacular version a crushing disappointment. All I can say is it's a fucking shame.
The Weight
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

One of the top 5 shows of 1991 right here (1. 10/27 2. 9/10 3. 3/20 4. 6/17 5. 12/28).
Morning Dew
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium

One of those "Dew"'s where the finale makes me feel like I'm holding on for dear life. Teeth clenching stuff.

Nassau Coliseum

So I know I'm four days late but I wanted to acknowledge the 25th anniversary of this miracle of a "Dew." Seriously, bump this fucker into the Top 5. Only 5/8/77, 5/22/77, 5/26/72 and 9/18/87 beat it.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Sandstone Amphitheatre

I didn't really feel this one. Jerry sounds totally disinterested vocally, especially on "Scarlet," where he makes meat loaf out of some the lyrics ("tucked into her shoes"?). That said, the MIDI transition is really cool and Jerry does pull together some great solos during "Fire," so I guess it's a bit like 5/26/95 in that regard.
