So glad this tune made the cut for acoustic rotation and new release is fantastic. Great tension build in the jam

Super crisp song portion and tension/release jam segment. Very worthy

Jerry is crazy nimble in this. Fresh from a 30 days of dead release - a choice cut

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

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

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.

Perfect amount of grit on the Jerry solo.

Radio City Music Hall

Brent on fire with a delicate, chunky solo, passes to Bobby for a subtle, confident drive, then Jerry blasts the song into the stratosphere with a spine tingling run up the neck.
