Very smoking version that's a fair representation of the entire show. Great energy all night!

It's just played really well. The entire show is good but nothing better than an A-. Show was heavy in my rotation in youth. A+ SBD. Nice CRS opener!

Played in hyper speed and everything still sounds just exactly perfect. A great way to end a set in any era

This was an isolated show and it sure sounds that way. Rock n rock and rock and roll here baby!
I Need A Miracle

Winterland Arena

Rocking version from a killer tour. Check it out!
Morning Dew
Sept. 14, 1988
Madison Square Garden

Jerry's shaky vocals are part of this one's charm - the NYC crowd goes nuts over it. The climatic part of Few wasn't very climatic but still great Weir\Garcia interplay in jams! Solid 8.5\10
Wharf Rat

Cobo Arena

Best version of year and i love Donna but she's got nothing to do with this insane rocker.
Jack Straw

Parc des Expositions

One of my favorite versions.... Pre-Hiatus Always thought E74 was GDs best work across the Atlantic.
