Sugaree

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Unless I'm missing one, this is the last truly great "Sugaree."

This version is in need of more love; it's incredibly eerie and they nail the vocals on the bridge.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 31, 1984
Marin County Civic Center

Sick version. The drums on "Fire" are insane. Jerry absolutely rips. 1984 needs more love in general.
Alabama Getaway

Marin County Civic Center

Love this version! No massive lyrical flubs and I've never heard Jerry growl this vigorously. Good usage of his coarse 1984-85 voice and hot guitar work. Great, great show.
Throwing Stones
Oct. 10, 1982
Frost Amphitheatre

Punchy and sincere; at the height of the Reagan era, the band kicked this politically charged song's ass night after night. The jam is spectacular and unique and super thick. I'm not sure what the consensus on Dead & Co. is here, but I urge everyone to check out the version from Sunrise, FL. right after the Parkland shooting; Bobby's vocal that night is the very essence of what this song is about. It's like he's delivering the Sermon on the Mount.
