Black Throated Wind

Riverport Amphitheatre

Surprisingly good. Nice rave-up at the end, and Jerry's fills throughout are genuinely great.

The Other One

The Omni

Spacey, atonal version. Shows where they were headed in 95 - a lot of interesting sounds.

Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie
March 28, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Cool version that Jerry starts and the band jumps on while Bob works out some gear issues. Last one ever, first in years, and only electric version.

Very powerful vocals from Jerry. Beyond intense "I guess it doesn't matter anyway"

It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Delta Center

Last version. Not perfect, but especially soulful. There's a nice new video up on youtube and jerry's very animated.

Shakedown Street

Portland Meadows

The mid jam is pretty dank.
Feel Like A Stranger
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

Sounds like Jerry wants to go into Shakedown in the jam. Unbelievable stuff. EDIT: it’s beyond belief to me that anyone could think that fall 89 version is better than this.
Death Don't Have No Mercy
April 2, 1990
The Omni

Weird version. Does Garcia forget to turn on his distortion for the solo, or is it an active choice...? We'll never know, but it's certainly a departure from the ones from 89.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 4, 1991
Richfield Coliseum

The Scarlet solo melted my brain. Jerry takes it higher and higher into the atmosphere each go round
Althea
March 20, 1992
Copps Coliseum

Bruce's piano licks in the intro set the tone for this fantastic version.
