The Spectrum

A Horrible year with very bad music. But this song is flawless and perfect.

Ship of Fools
Feb. 28, 1981
Uptown Theater

Subtle, sublime, and filled with soul. Powerful, loud and strong at the right moments, and quiet like a leaf falling in the moments inbetween.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

This is an amazing version for Phil Lovers. Grab the audience tape, turn it up, and be destroyed by massive Phil Bombs.

Hampton Coliseum

Hypnotic groove that will push you higher and higher. Fire. Fire. Fire on the mountain. An ancient rhythm emerges which hearkens to ancient times

Eyes Of The World
May 13, 1983
Greek Theater

Blistering. I use to dismiss the early 80's and 1983 especially, but this Eyes and this concert (and the other 2 concerts at the Greek for Spring 83) are awesome.

Civic Center

This is a good one. Not much during Spring of 90 is bad.Almost all is solid and energized.

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

A good version. Jerry has some searing guitar lines in this one.
Looks Like Rain
April 4, 1986
Hartford Civic Center

1986 isn't the first year that people think of when it comes to dynamite performances. But this song captures everything amazing about this song you'd want. Howling Garcia leads, howling Weir shrieks, and the band is for at least one song at this show on fire. You must listen to appreciate.
Hell in a Bucket
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

One of my favorites right here. Muscle for sure.
