Part of a "rain" set, this version has great energy and features Phil dropping a stadium-vibrating bomb.

Man Smart, Woman Smarter
Jan. 26, 1993
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena
This is an outstanding version with Phil way out front and the whole band tight and clicking. Should be ranked higher.
Morning Dew
March 24, 1986
The Spectrum
Given the era and Jerry's health at the time, this is extremely powerful and passionate. Should be rated higher-- Video w/SBD audio available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZGhufPOCrA
Jack Straw

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
Video confirms they were feeling it. Lots of energy from Jerry.

Really tight and picks up well in the end. Great video of this show is available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RfkJhv-53M&t=77s
Death Don't Have No Mercy
Sept. 29, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre
Simply stunning. Not sure why I never stumbled over this gem before. The solo comes out of nowhere on a night when nothing else played is in the same ballpark.
