Ramble On Rose

Cal Expo

1989 was a banner year for this song. Brent is on fire and Jerry is, well, Jerry. Killer version.

The symbolism of playing this one at Keith & Donna's last show makes this one significant. Great version.

Really strong version. Jerry's vocals are particularly sharp and playful here. Bobby and Brent deliver big here.

A perfect version. Smooth as silk with great energy.

cgarces, would love to get your opinion on this one as well as 5/31/92. I know you are the biggest champion of 3/27/94 (and I agree that it's a Top 5 all timer), but I think these two are spectacular in their own right.

Always thought this version was a bit rushed (as I did "Jack Straw" and "Ramble On Rose").

Very fun, peppy latter day "Lovelight."

Jerry with that chicken grease funk during the jam....cool stuff. Generally speaking, I'm coming around to "Corrina." It's not a masterpiece, but it has a good groove and overall it's a good, if not great song. Compared to "Wave the Wind" or Vince's schlock, it's a damn-near masterpiece. It at least sounded unique enough to give the band credit for trying something new.
