Moseying version. Jerry lays down buttery licks and Keith rides some nice fills. Zippidy doo dah tuning jam to follow

Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Great Saint, though the goods are in the MLB > Dear Prudence jam that follows. I can only imagine the level of blue balls in the house for that tease

The Music Never Stopped

Boston Garden

I always liked this version. The boys gel together nicely for a peaky crescendo

Freight train of energy

Ship of Fools

Jerry's voice is crisp, his playing is sharp, and Keith does a great job with atmospheric organ fills

Playin' In The Band
June 8, 1980
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Has some nice depth for a compact version. Not to mention the absolutely stunning UJB>P>UJB show opener call.
Uncle John's Band
June 8, 1980
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Beautiful version and a jaw dropping way to open a show! I love the introduction, ushering in the next 15 years of the Dead
Bertha
June 18, 1983
Saratoga Performing Arts Center

Some minorly marbled lyrics, but this jam slays. Very energetic
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
June 14, 1980
Spokane Coliseum

Rock clinic. Full band screaming the vocals by the end
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 27, 1982
Red Rocks Ampitheatre

Super clean, precise C>R. Jam out of China is nimble and melodic.
