Greatest Story Ever Told

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Solid version of this tune. Less of a trainwreck when played later in the set it seems.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

First great post-coma moment. Phil is unbelievable throughout. Jerry's in it to win it. Check the SBD.

Convincing vocal performance by Jer. Especially second verse.

Cumberland County Civic Center

Rowdy, spirited version. Jerry not quite done with it when everyone else is.

Touch of Grey

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Oddly engrossing version of this difficult song, driven by Mickey and Brent.

Cal Expo

Phil is on a mission here (check out the Bertha too). Right before his statement that contrary to rumor, he is not quitting the band.
Promised Land
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

First song after Branford first sat in, on "Bird Song," and you can tell Jerry is elated. Crushing version. Drummers were on their best behavior throughout this show as a musician was sitting in.
Stella Blue
March 24, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Exceptional solo and outro from Jerry; great vocals typical of his high emotion era
Throwing Stones
June 19, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Dig the Foolish Heart jam on this one. You heard me right
