Love 1990-91 "The Wheel"'s. They played it at a tempo similar to the original studio version. More urgency and intensity to it.

Barnburner, scorcher, etc. There isn't a bad Bruce-era "Jack Straw."

A very strong version. Bruce and Jerry seemed to always play off each other well on "Sugaree."

Killer version from a Top 5 show from 1994. Vince and Jerry are on and Bob means every word.

One word: dynamics, something sorely lacking in a lot of late day Dead. Every subtle nuance, every modulation, every bit of pathos is nailed here. Nothing is left to chance, the band hits the bullseye. Jerry's voice is so good in the beginning, especially when he goes for a softer tone. Perfect performance. The 25th anniversary will be here before we know it, so rev up those upvotes.

The drummers are really so on this whole show.

This version really cooks. Bob has fire in the belly and Jerry is possessed.

Such a tight, clean show. One of the best ever!
