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

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

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

Was just minding my own business, listening to GD when I got mugged by this version!
Playin' In The Band
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater

6/19 perhaps, though not 23 mins. Fanfrickintastic! - as the description says.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

As this transition gets going, Phil tosses on the cordwood. As Jerry’s flames begin to emerge and reach upward, Keith’s sprinklings rise like sparks, while Billy’s rhythmic pulses seem to synchronize the whipping of the flames. And Bob, yeah, he’s like a bellows pumping oxygen into this thing the whole time. Brilliant bonfire. Step back and enjoy the heat.
