Easy song to overlook (I had no idea I forgot to submit it as I love this show), but this is a good one.

Surprised not to see this one; killer start to one of the year's best shows.

I often think of this one as a throwaway, but this version flat out kicks ass. Great solo from Jerry. These shows at MSG smoked.

Great version from one the best 1993 shows. Jerry's vocals are excellent and the outro jam smokes.

This is a contender for my favorite individual Dead performance of all time. Others may be more musically interesting or technically sound, but the energy leaping out of this one is phenomenal. And Bob's rap is just icing on a very delicious cake.

My personal fave "Sugaree." It has a very mournful sound in the wake of Bill Graham's death and it just goes on and on with Jerry in fine form. This show and the Halloween one are my two favorite post-Brent shows.
