China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Cal Expo

Fast but very neat and tight. Cool version from the best run of 1986.

Hershey Park Stadium

Motherfucker out of "Cold Rain & Snow." Shit hot and rockin'. A bit sloppy but full of energy.

They Love Each Other

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Vince is admittedly awful here, but Phil and Jer make up for it. Cool version.

Big Railroad Blues

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Not a great show, Jerry still finding strength after the coma. This BRB, however, smokes.

Always the little song that could in any set it appeared in. This one rocks.

The Other One
March 20, 1992
Copps Coliseum

This one's spooky.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 19, 1981
Sports Palace

The more I listen the more I'm convinced this has become an all timer for me. Jerry's last two solos in "Fire" epitomize 'incendiary.' Grab a hold of something, because my chair buckled during this one.
Far From Me
July 12, 1989
RFK Stadium

Brent works himself into an absolute lather here.
Cold Rain and Snow
Sept. 26, 1991
Boston Garden

This version is not sluggish at all. It's faster than some 1980s' version and has great work from all involved.
Jack Straw
Sept. 26, 1991
Boston Garden

Another great 1991 "Jack Straw."
