Ramble On Rose

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

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.

Playin' In The Band

Edmundson Pavilion

You need to prepare yourself for this one. First, avoid interruptions. Send your phone calls straight to voicemail. Feed the dog beforehand so he doesn't start barking mid-song. Secondly, don't lose sight of your surroundings. It's very easy to lose touch with reality during this one - it drops you down a rabbit hole quite quickly. Do a common household task - empty the dishwasher, fold the laundry - while listening, to ensure you remain grounded in the objective physical realm throughout.

This one hits you look a sock to the face coming out of "He's Gone." This whole show is just amazing.

VERY NICE late day version. Jerry's weathered voice works well here.
Eyes Of The World

Boston Garden

Listened to this in traffic during the flash floods in NYC. Such a nice, tight "Eyes." Phil is especially good here.
Dancin' in the Streets
July 15, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California

I love this one. Brent's keyboard gives it a really dark edge you wouldn't expect from "Dancin'" of all songs. Segues seamlessly into "Bird Song." What a show. Jerry's on target all night. Love these shows.
