Nevada County Fairgrounds

This show proves hot out of the gate with this fiercely jammed Jack Straw. The Andrew F recording sounds amazing, too.

Crisler Arena

More evidence for the NFAissance of 1989. Torn to shreds.

Drums -> Space

Greek Theatre - University of California

Xylophone loop madness in Drums, then a creepy two-note riff by Bobby surfaces several times in Space.

Crisler Arena

En fuego! Masterfully executed, funky, slinky, and ultimately ripped to shreds.

Mexicali Blues

Civic Center

Another FAST ’74 version, it’s executed with so much swagger you’d swear they could go faster still.

Typical for the period, it’s filled with MIDI ... and quite adventurous. I like both of those traits, but your mileage may vary.

@TheBusCameBy and others -- you can vote for 3/18/91 songs at the following link: http://headyversion.com/show/2079/grateful-dead/1991-03-18/ There's a bug on this site that makes it difficult to find a lot of submissions when scrolling through the song pages. It sometimes takes some patience to land on a show page.
It Must Have Been The Roses

Winterland Arena

I am amazed this gorgeous reading from a popular show only has one vote when I got here. Well, now it has two.

Zoo Amphitheater

Very cool and different jam — kind of like one of the grooves on In a Silent Way — in the few minutes before > Iko.

This Drums > JAM > Space is like no other D>S I’ve heard.
