A rare and different tune. Real nice transition into epic Playin-UJB from Go to Nassau...

Stunned this ain't here yet. Next night is a famous one. But this 2nd set opener is strong and rugged. Nice moment at "born to be a bachelor..."

Madison Square Garden

Wow! Can't believe this hasn't made the cut yet. Rips and roars out of poignant China Doll. Almost become a Smokestack... Super strong show!

Carousel Ballroom

DeadBase calls it a Dark Star Jam. There is not much of a hint of a Dark Star-ish melody, and the date is debatable. But everyone needs to hear this!!

Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
Dec. 27, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Started out on Heineken and soon hit the harder stuff! A ton of fun for all as Phil makes up the words, has a few funny asides and Jerry attempts some funky midi flute until you can pretty much hear him shake his head and laugh at himself….! For some, this tune was a bathroom break… but for most it was a rare chance for us to get our Phil!
