Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
Sept. 19, 1990
Madison Square Garden

A pounding, emotional version delivered with the inspiration that runs throughout the MSG ’90 run

Brokedown Palace
May 9, 1981
Nassau Coliseum

One of a few comical, double-start versions, this one comes around to cap off a great evening, sending us aglow into the parking lot

Aiko Aiko
April 3, 1986
Hartford Civic Center

Punchy and well explored to open the gig; beefy and well mixed soundboard to boot
2
Hell in a Bucket
June 5, 1993
Giants Stadium

Charging, gnarly version to open the proceedings before the dish-off off to a soaring Sugaree

Foolish Heart
Sept. 19, 1988
Madison Square Garden

Enjoy the free wanderings of these earlier versions before the “hook” closed the jam segment.

The Mosque

Yeah, there's a fire on the mountain alright. I'm out the door and more than ablaze. Thanks, Grateful Dead.
Sugaree
April 18, 1978
Civic Arena

Hits the spot -- and then some.
Feel Like A Stranger
July 10, 1989
Giants Stadium

Check out the Phil groove on this one, folks. And there’s a vid. Sure, I’ll give it a second vote to keep the other one company, but this being Summer ’89, I can see a lot more heads joining in here.
Ramble On Rose

Fox Theatre

Scarlet Begonias
Sept. 25, 1976
Capital Centre

Love the way these later stand-alones are unleashed and run where they will – this one building to a rousing stomp and ready for more. Long-time favorite with signature Phil slides, it’s easy to see this one hangin’ up in the lead pack.
