Beautiful comedown after an epic Eyes. Forgotten show or not, this is one of the best 2nd sets of the year - and that says a hell of a lot.

Unique Dead with the whole horn section. In places sounds like Nigerian Juju pop from the same era (King Sunny Adé or Fela's big band). Very cool.

Sweaty funky and a little bit loose - just like the lady in the song.

Extremely beautiful version with some AUD problems. Sparkling melodicism out of the perfect collective mind. A forgotten diamond.

Impassioned version like few others, with both Jer and Keith firing on all cylinders. Terrible AUD probs keep this show unknown, but worth a listen.

This is a stellar version, and should be much higher than 2 votes!

Great comment Grendel!

Donnie is right. This is liquid fire from start to finish. Parts of this show have air-play precision, note-by-note perfection and total balance. The BEW in the first set does. This closer JBG does too.
Morning Dew

Long Beach Arena

Part of a beautiful and mysterious suite. Truckin'>Jam>Dark Star>Morning Dew. The Dew comes blazing out of the funny, understated Star and captures the power and the beauty.
Dark Star

Long Beach Arena

An inside-out Dark Star, starting with the beautiful, inspired jam out of Truckin' and hitting the lyrics almost as a side-event on the way to Morning Dew. Definitely listen from Truckin' forward, rather than starting on the track listing. Wonderful stuff.
