From the time when first set songs were played with a pressing sense of emergency.

Blow Away
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

This is the only Brent tune that feels like a Dead tune. Yup - Brent's channeling his inner Pig. Just think if Brent started playing songs like this from the beginning - man, he could have developed some awesome tunes. It's a song that Jerry also knows how he should be playing it.
Feelin' Groovy Jam
May 25, 1974
Campus Stadium, UCSB

This isn't a Feelin' Groovy Jam. If you want to hear what a Feelin' Groovy Jam actually is, listen to Dark Star from 2-13-70. Now that is a Feelin' Groovy Jam. Listen to that Dark Star from about the 17 minute to the 21 minute spot and you'll see the jam played here and the jam played during Dark Star are different jams.

You've got to be kidding me.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

This one carries a nice boogie into Rider.
Ship of Fools

Madison Square Garden

One of the best from 1991 and 1991 was a great year.
