Easy song to overlook (I had no idea I forgot to submit it as I love this show), but this is a good one.

Surprised not to see this one; killer start to one of the year's best shows.

I often think of this one as a throwaway, but this version flat out kicks ass. Great solo from Jerry. These shows at MSG smoked.

Great version from one the best 1993 shows. Jerry's vocals are excellent and the outro jam smokes.

Truckin'
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden
Get the audience tape for this one and go to straight to "Truckin'." The sound is in your face and punchy and the crowd is absolutely wild. Bonkers "Truckin'." This whole show is fucking incredible.
The Weight
July 23, 1990
World Music Theatre
It's stuff like that verse being Brent's last vocal and Jerry's last lead vocal being "Black Muddy River" that make me believe in the Dead's cosmic synergy.
Foolish Heart
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center
The last truly great Dead show. Jerry is focused, committed, alert, creative. This is a monster "Foolish Heart."
Terrapin Station
June 21, 1980
West High Auditorium
Love this version, very bright and relaxed with nice playing from Brent and a solid vocal from Jerry.
Samson and Delilah
June 21, 1980
West High Auditorium
EPIC VERSION ALERT! Bustles along brilliantly.
