I've commented earlier on the NFA portion of this sandy, but this GDTRFB is a considerably meaty portion as well! Very hot ish

Jerry is a sugary sweet beverage on a hot day in this one. Super, super smooth

Super mellow transition from Scarlet to Fire

Great fills from Keith in this one. Jerry tackles the descending final guitar notes beautifully as well

Jerry and Keith trade some slinky solos in this gem

Brown Eyed Women

Giants Stadium

Bruce on this - my GOD! Hard to follow Jerry's killer solo, but Bruce practically lights the keys on fire. So, so good. Phil with great thumping groundwork
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 16, 1991
Giants Stadium

Agree wholly with initial post. Both China and Rider each seem to have a bit extra room and extension. Bruce opened these kinds of doors for the band in that era to confidently explore. Liking this version a ton
Saint of Circumstance

Giants Stadium

^what the clash said. This version is made by the 2-3 min of seeming drums/space the precedes it. That little jam segment is spacey gold and transitioning into Saint is pretty shocking.

Cracking solid from everyone, with Hornsby laying some thickness

Jerry’s ethereal, tinkling tone on this solo is definitive catharsis.
