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

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

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.

Cumberland Blues

The Spectrum
This is an outstanding latter day "Cumberland" and should have more votes. The band is super locked in here.
New Minglewood Blues
Dec. 28, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium
Incredible version. This whole show is as good as any they ever played. Even Vince was better than he'd ever be at this one.
Foolish Heart
Dec. 28, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium
MONSTER version.
Morning Dew
June 21, 1995
Knickerbocker Arena
Listened to this one last night. It started off rough, but Jerry pulls it together by the end and the climax is worth it, though it ends a bit abruptly. It's got nothing on 3/27/94 as far as late era Dews go.
Unbroken Chain
March 23, 1995
Charlotte Coliseum
This is the best version because it's the only version where someone other than Phil seems to be fully invested in it. God Bless Hornsby, he pulled the band out of a ton of quagmires.
