Eyes Of The World

Civic Center

Jerry's solos are as meticulously crafted as a spider web. Fluid, soulful, energetic. Great mid-80s' "Eyes."

Brent completely dominates this "Rooster."

Monster version that takes an already great show into 'epic' territory. Jerry sings and plays like a professional criminal here.

My favorite version from one of the best Dead shows I've ever heard. Jerry's on fire and the drummers are dynamite. Best one I've heard.

New Speedway Boogie

Madison Square Garden

The passage where Jerry dips into his lower register for the "This darkness..." refrain...chills.
Turn On Your Love Light

Richfield Coliseum

Excellent version with great energy and the split is a nice touch! They were inspired this evening.
Sugaree

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

I'm the biggest Alpine '89 fan but I forgot how fucking great this "Sugaree" is. Jerry's solo before the "pouring rain" verse is an absolute monster. I'd put it up there with the 1977 Goliaths, but I'll probably listen to another one from 1974 or 1982 or whenever and say the same thing. The beauty of the band.
Hell in a Bucket

This should be higher, roars at top speed.

First version I ever heard. Loved it from the get-go.
