I'm noticing a pattern, very few people are into '91 as much as me

If you like '91 you'll love the 4 headed weather song attack with great versions of CRS, BTW!, Jimmy! LLR! and they play Box of Rain...

Killer version during 3 cold great nights in Chicago. Jerry does some turbo plucking towards the end. Very solid SBD

Exceptional version from an underrated tour.

Reminds me a lot of 6/4 and 6/25/78 versions - for that alone I've gotta up vote it. It lacks psychedelia but makes up for it with intensity.

Despite having no connections to twin cities I'm a Gopher NCAA hoops/football supporter so i'm a little biased with Twin City shows(Don't think it's a coincidence first Jack Sraw came out of MPLS). I recall really digging this show(not quite as much as 5/11/77) I really need to hear the upgraded source....which I just found :)

Not huge on '85 Straws but this one is really tight and intense. The 'thing' that is heard after 'by the morning light' is very one of a kind and awesome.
