Jerry's intro+Phil's entrance+single drum beat as solo peaks+sloppy but fun outro jam = my fave!

Deal
Aug. 18, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre
Crank it up, but BE WARNED...some recordings of this have some loud static right as they're in the middle of their closing jam...I was driving along, blasting this one day, and it scared the beejeebus out of me! Still a great version, and well worth the listen though!

Even tuning is special with Bruce messin' around on keys...by the time Deal kicks off, it's one big barrelhouse stomp...
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
As said above - this entire show is sad, powerful and moving. It's a beautiful tribute to Bill Graham, appropriately on Halloween night.
Throwing Stones
March 3, 1987
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center
Sorry...I meant to input 3/23/87...I can't vouch for 3/3/87 either way, but I'll give it a listen soon.
Morning Dew
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden
The climax is a "wrong" note that Jer holds and trills until it's beautifully perfect.
