Excellent! Galloping through the continuum, the Gd knew this world like a second skin at this point, inspired architecture from beautiful to ugly

Truckin'

Meadowlands Arena

Top-shelf intro, jerry flying across the fretboard in fits of rage, Weir pillows, wharf fakeout and a blue hot Truckin' to follow. phil/bren intensity

softly seeps from a beautiful UJB jam. Mickey's solo is fantastic, crackling with come-hither mystery. Expertly done crescendo to a nasty, short space

Heroically kind, rip-roaring, ecstatic.

Terrapin Station
June 16, 1990
Shoreline Amphitheatre

this version paints a Rembrandt of the infinity of matter. Seminal. At over 30 minutes before becoming space, it is a billionaire deluxe experience of groupthink cruising through galaxies with urgent authority. magical version. I am surprised that this doesn't come up every time when talking about the best. Stands with any version.

they get to work on this, really amazing
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

2nd dark star jam out of drumz, sounds like Weir is playing funky or almost RHCP style midi wrist work, while the Garcia/Marsalis/Hornsby conference glides into new extrasensory meltdowns. The most amazingly unhinged stuff.

Sparse, quiet, brooding, sensitive version. exquisite comes a time melt.
