Doesn't seem to want to end - some vocal flubs from Bobby but excellent and energetic version

Maybe not the most exploratory but it's clear the band is having fun - solid 80's version

Stir It Up

The Omni

Jerry leads them straight into it - lots of fun in this second set, even if it's nothing outstanding per se
Terrapin Station
Dec. 30, 1990
Coliseum Arena

Underrated af????? Comes out of space and the pre drums of this set is no slouch either, containing a nearly 20 min Playin'. A really great treat that's executed well and segues into Sugar Mag
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 30, 1990
Coliseum Arena

The band had come out to play! Beautiful melding of everyone's instruments - Phil thundering along. I really love the tone Jerry locks into for this one - sharper, less spacy

Warfield Theater

Great Dark Holler
Uncle John's Band
Dec. 27, 1987
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

The new Ultramatrix really clears up this one, what a great version
