Excellent version. Bobby brings it for the finale and the whole band thunders behind him on target throughout.

Folks, you need to hear this one. It's absolutely gorgeous. Great interplay between Jerry and Vince on the solos and the whole version oozes soul.

Obligatory, but fun nonetheless.

The first thirty seconds with Airto Moreira are blood curdling. Terrifying, trippy stuff. Handle with care.

Estimated Prophet

To quote Dylan, 'hotter than a crotch.' One of the best ever post-Brent performances of this song. Bruce is on fire here and I love Weir's vocals.
Terrapin Station
Oct. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

The heaviness of Bill Graham's passing is dripping all over this run, and it made the band channel some serious intensity into the big numbers: "Scarlet -> Fire," "Playin'," "Estimated," "Eyes," the Kesey "Dark Star," and this "Terrapin Station." This a truly epic performance, oozing elegance and stateliness thanks to Hornsby's gorgeously executed piano tinkering as well as Jerry's appropriately weathered voice. The jam is also hot. An underrated "Terrapin" that deserves a lot more votes.

Beautiful version. Brent's keyboards are great here.

There are definitely moments towards the end that remind me of Veneta. This is really an amazing "Dark Star," in the Top 5 among post-Brent versions.

Not the best ever, but up there. Chilling version.
