Ramble On Rose
Aug. 6, 1989
Cal Expo

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

The Wheel

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

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.

Estimated Prophet

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

To quote Dylan, 'hotter than a crotch.' One of the best ever post-Brent performances of this song. Bruce is on fire here and I love Weir's vocals.
Terrapin Station
Oct. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

The heaviness of Bill Graham's passing is dripping all over this run, and it made the band channel some serious intensity into the big numbers: "Scarlet -> Fire," "Playin'," "Estimated," "Eyes," the Kesey "Dark Star," and this "Terrapin Station." This a truly epic performance, oozing elegance and stateliness thanks to Hornsby's gorgeously executed piano tinkering as well as Jerry's appropriately weathered voice. The jam is also hot. An underrated "Terrapin" that deserves a lot more votes.

Cape Cod Coliseum

Beautiful version. Brent's keyboards are great here.
Dark Star
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

There are definitely moments towards the end that remind me of Veneta. This is really an amazing "Dark Star," in the Top 5 among post-Brent versions.
Wharf Rat

Madison Square Garden

Not the best ever, but up there. Chilling version.
