Cleveland Public Auditorium

Rocking version with Brent and Jerry really belting out the chorus as Bobby snarls thru the lyrics. Rocking for sure

Very well done crazy fingers the playing is gorgeous and the vocals are decent. But the playing is what drives this one. Beautiful

Fun little opener sung sweetly by Jerry with some nice help from Brent. Sweet little guitar work from Jerry as well

Morning Dew
Nov. 22, 1985
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

I just lost my touring buddy on Saturday. This was his favorite song and this is the version that most makes me think of him. So it’s what I’ve been listening to as I miss my friend and brother. This is powerful version very measured and assured it’s really a special performance. Phil and jerry are totally on point. This is a GREAT version.
Sugar Magnolia
Oct. 19, 1981
Sports Palace

This is truly a great high energy pumped up version. With that extra kick. Should be closer to the top.
Morning Dew
April 28, 1971
Fillmore East

There is no such thing as the dew. One of the dews sure. But the song is too damn powerful to just have one version be called the dew.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Oct. 13, 1994
Madison Square Garden

Maybe the only song where my go to version is from 1994. This one is as close to perfect as art can get.

This is top shelf. What a blast of energy Garcia is on fire. His leads are bubbling and beautiful. The lyrics are crisp and the band is nailing it. Keith twinkling beautifully a truly great Bertha
