Another great 1993 version to go with 6/11, 6/21, 8/22, 9/10. Jerry goes nutso.

Another song that roared back to life in 1991. Bobby always nails this one.

From a great run of shows. Jerry kills the jam.

The "Aiko" is here but not the "Woman Are Smarter"? Blasphemy.

A very spunky, sharp and well played version with Jerry on fire. He owns this whole first set.

One of my favorite Dead live performances of all. Such energy. So glad it I have the honor of letting it edge 3/18/95; that version is fun, but this one manages to be both fun and loose as well as tight and intense. I adore this performance.

Boston Garden

The end of the first half when they start to transition into "Saint of Circumstance" is so hauntingly beautiful. "Saint" seems like a bizarre choice for "Dark Star" to segue into, but it leads so some spectacular work from Hornsby, who also shines on the second half. Phil is a beast throughout.
Playin' In The Band

Memorial Stadium

Not the best "Playin'," but man Phil is ON FIRE for this one.

Beast version. They were really on fire this night.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Madison Square Garden

This is the version where I really feel in love with this pairing. Super jammed out and rockin'.
