Understated beauty and power

I actually dig Hornsby's flare on this. Jerry nails a sweet solo at the end too. Very heartfelt

Full head of steam. Good Phil work on a song that is typically a Jerry shredfest highlight reel (this is still a Jerry shredfest highlight reel)

Short and sweet. Jerry rips a tight solo in the middle

Just spun the Bass Jam > Sugar Mags from 30 Days of Dead - really sick stuff. Lesh rock-Gods a nice solo jam into this smoke show Mags. Choice

Easy To Love You
March 22, 1990
Copps Coliseum

It's so cheesy to love you... This song is 80s yacht rock. Well played for what it is, but the song itself is flat out bad. Feels like a wasted spot on an otherwise rock solid Spring '90 release
Feel Like A Stranger

Copps Coliseum

Silky silky, crazy crazy tight. Thickness

Knickerbocker Arena

Un-fuck-wittable. Finally pulled the trigger on Spring '90 vinyl and this specimen of beauty shines BRIGHT. My favorite.
China Doll

Nassau Coliseum

Agree with comments above. This one is melodic and savory, with Brent nailing some great runs in the end segment
Midnight Hour
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Slinky, relaxed version. Not a hint of urgency. Great interplay with Lesh/Jerry/Bob and a solid mini-peak, led by Phil in the middle, pre Bobby hand clap rap.
