Fast. Fast. Fast. Cokey version seems like it's playing in fast forward. '84 is so unique and magical/dreamy sometimes.

Rich Stadium

Not a big fan of this song usually, but this one's hot. On the 4th of july, short, sweet, everybody's into it. Comin' out of The Wheel and into UJB.

Nice one, rising out of a cool Playin' and getting it's own groove on. Featured on Go to Nassau.

Strand Lyceum

Tight version. Surprised it's not on here, like the rest of this sweet show (my new sleeper favorite, along with 5/13, 4/11)...dig that organ.

This second set just keeps going and going...so generous!
Dark Star
July 12, 1990
Robert F. Kennedy Stadium

Very underrated Dark Star. A good one, and not just for the era; goes a lot of places, both strange and beautiful.

Robert F. Kennedy Stadium

Outro into Dark Star is so sweet...Phil and Jerry conversing in cosmic unison...check the View from the Vault II bonus footage (best of the series by far!)

The Wheel
