All Along the Watchtower
July 12, 1987
Giants Stadium

Easily one of the best versions of a song (w/ Dylan)from the tour. Jerry absolutely rips his solos on this one. I go with the jedi metaphor but gunslinger will work. ;-)
Estimated Prophet
July 26, 1994
Riverport Amphitheatre

almost 20 minutes nice and meaty loads of phil vince and Jerry runs into a cool jam into drums. Really meaty they really had it for spurts in 1994, regardless of what many will tell you. They had bad patches to but they had moments of pure inspiration as well.
Bird Song
Dec. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Just listened to this, and other segments of this show last night or this morning, time runs together sometimes. Real hot show definitely underrated.
West L.A. Fadeaway
March 28, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

I really dig a good West La Fade away and this is a very good one, one of the best you will here from the later years. I REALLY dig some of the late 80's (87-89) versions. like i said though this one is a real nice version as well definite enthusiastic up vote.
Touch of Grey
Oct. 27, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

THis is a fantastic Touch, Excellent execution, Jerry gives it that extra, there is a lot of midi so if you hate that avoid, i think this is a fantastic version, a statement at this show for sure.
