One of the best Bobby versions. They tear this one up. Bobby's possessed. Jerry's on.

Bobby was on his game with the blues numbers in summer '85.

Killer run of "Stranger" -> "Eyes" -> "GDTRFB" -> "MSWS." What a great run at the end of June.

Sweet bustout at Keith and Donna's last show. Jerry's solo is great.

Fast, a bit sloppy, but Jerry's having a great time here.

It wasn't wholly consistent (the 10/7 Spectrum show and the Cap shows were not great), but man, when Autumn '94 was on, it was ON. Boston and MSG were both fantastic that year. 10/1, 10/5 and the first three MSG shows especially.

Get this one way up there. Incredible version from a killer show.

1993-94 was a very good time period for UJB. This version is quite nice, and worthy of a vote, not least of all for the "Supplication" tease. That said, I think 12/18/1993 and 10/5/1994 are better, especially the latter with an absolutely batshit spooky meltdown.

I'm gonna make a bold statement and say this "Shakedown Street" is on par with the 3/27 "Dew" and the MSG "Scarlet -> Fire" from 1994; while "Shakedown" historically isn't regarded as having the depth of either of those two, this version is definitely another performance that can hang in any era. From the get-go, this baby shoots the fuck out of the gate like a rocket and reaches a peak as good any they've ever hit. They play this with an energy that's far more on par with the coke fuelled 1984-85 period than the lethargy of 1995. Yes, Jerry muffs the words, but he does that on a prime era versions, too. Give this one a listen and don't let knock you on the ass too hard. This is top shelf, finely aged Dead.

I don't know how this is as low as it is, and with very mixed reviews thus far. If you like your "Dews" with sheer, unbridled, apocalyptic intensity, this one is way up there. Spectacular version, and yes, Phil just craters it throughout.
