Could be longer, but what's here is spooky and fantastic. Great peak.

1992-93 was a very strong period for "Terrapin," and this version is no exception.

Jerry floods this "Big River" with some tasty licks.

My favorite part of this one is how it finds it ways back to the second verse. The first break after verse 1 gets way out there.

They did the first verse a couple of days earlier, I think. I think this is also the last time Jerry ever sang the second verse.

I've really been loving on this one lately. This is the last time where "Dark Star" really felt like an 'event' at a show, and it holds its own against others from this 1989-91 very well. Good length and stays close to the surface but still has that eeriness I love in a "Dark Star." Vince's organ work is excellent. And yea, garces is right: there are hints of "Fire on the Mountain" at the end. If only.

Should be way higher. Maybe the best Hornsby era version. If 9-19-90 and 6/6/91 can get double digit votes, this can hang with them without a second thought.

Bruce is excellent on this version. So crisp.
