It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Avalon Ballroom

Nice soulful 69 version of Baby Blue, they should have played this more in the coming decade.

Playin' In The Band

The Omni

Probably the last good version, way above average for 1995!
Sugaree

The Omni

This is a great version, Jerry playing is solid, until the epic flub at the end.
Spoonful
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Duncan adds a lot to this. So odd to hear the GD with another lead guitar.
Dark Star
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Not the "best" or longest DS but the Kesey rap is sure unique, pretty dark too.
Revolutionary Hamstrung Blues
March 27, 1986
Cumberland County Civic Center

This is a great song, no idea why they shelved it promptly. Sound is a little similar to Just A Little Light.
