Jerry shreds the solo and bobby growls out the vocals. nice juxtaposition to the beautiful BP that preceded it.

Brents organ really makes this one sound like Grateful Dead church and the way Jerry is signing really makes him sound like he's mourning someone.

this one really builds in intensity until it hts soaring heights. Truly a magnificent though very early 80's sounding version.

Foolish Heart

A bit of a lyrical mess but it’s made up for with some sick ass jamming. Brent in particular lays down some nice runs. First set just keeps cranking out openers after starting with this rather rare as an opener tune to start the show. Not the best version but worth a listen for the jamming and fast aggressive pace. The boys came to rock on this evening.

Very underrated. Brent is especially on fire during the early parts of this show. Almost of the rails version but in a good way. Jerry and Brent are attacking this song in a rather aggressive way. Should have more votes.

Knickerbocker Arena

This is a spectacular version only a fool would discount 1989-90 dead. Even the band members are on record with how great they were playing at that point. Many fantastic tunes during that time. I prefer the 70s but acting like they never did anything great after any year before jerry passed is just asinine.

Pretty ignorant for the poster below to open an account just to make an ignorant freaking comment. Glad I had the accidental extra posts to edit so I could comment above the fool.
