Intriguing Set 2 opener "Scarlet -> Sugar." Nice MIDI at the end.

This one shines from my favorite Hornsby show.

Man was 1990 a good year for this song. Terrific version, great solo, nice ragtime-y work from Bruce. Just exactly perfect.

Listened to this show because it was played the day I was born. A great Hornsby era version.

Big Railroad Blues

One of the few songs Keith wakes up for during this show, sadly.
Its All Over Now

Capitol Center

It's a shame that the soundboard of this show is littered with problems. It only includes the last instrumental break and Bobby's reprise of the final verse, but it's wholly worth it regardless. Jerry is playing with relish and Bobby goes absolutely batshit as he sings the finale.
Brown Eyed Women

Miami Arena

Jerry's broken voice adds so much to this one. Maybe it's just the show's overall reputation, but there's darkness even in this "BEW" (as opposed to the usual wistful melancholy that is the heart of the song).
Dark Star
June 22, 1991
Soldier Field

Indeed! This one could just as well be counted as a legit instrumental "Dark Star" as opposed to just a jam. At nearly eight minutes, it's a fleshed out meditation on the song's main theme. It's not just a tease, the song's melody is all there.

Soldier Field

Around 15 or 16 minutes in, Vince seems to jump in on the "Dark Star" teases.
