West L.A. Fadeaway
Definite bias here...it's my birthday! Pretty rippin' all things considered. Jerry really seems into it, as does Brent

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
This whole show is the Dead at their most energetic and the HSF has some exceptionally fine playing by Jerry. Maybe the best version of the decade!

Franklin's Tower
Right from the starting gate, the boys hit the ground running! If you love Franklin's do yourself a favor and give it a spin!
7
Throwing Stones
Extended and jammy early version had more improvasation than you find in the jamming on later versions.
4
Brown Eyed Women
With some energy and Jer's got a steady hand here - Brent high and all over this mix...Devils are kickin hard this night too.

Looks Like Rain
Brent's moog gives this 1 a bit of dr seuss, devils take a while to check in, but from first solo on, cooks into a thrilling workout!!!
