Ramble On Rose

Charlotte Coliseum

Sparkling rendition. Fans of upbeat '89 versions like 7/7 should check this out.

Estimated Prophet
Aug. 4, 1982
Kiel Auditorium

Sharp, feisty version with Jerry and Brent setting up a beautiful, dreamy -> Terrapin

Space
Sept. 4, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Super heady, effects-drenched Space that suggests what a fall ’79 Dark Star might’ve sounded like.

Promised Land
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

This really gets cookin’! Keith, Billy, and Jerry seem to be playing little rhythmic games, switching up the accents in interesting ways.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Winterland Arena

Splendid set closer with delightfully boisterous contributions from Keith and a permeating feeling of real joy.

St. Stephen
Feb. 14, 1970
Fillmore East

It was too played on this date.
Foolish Heart
March 20, 1991
Capital Centre

Just enchanting. Jerry and Bruce harmonize on a unique, trancelike outro that itself is a clever variation on the signature riff(s).
Not Fade Away
Aug. 30, 1980
The Spectrum

Are you kidding me?! Hot! August - September ’80 is terrific, one of the brightest points of the entire decade.
Me and My Uncle
May 24, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Jerry lets himself get carried away to great results.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 4, 1990
Sandstone Amphitheatre

The transition is abrupt, and Jer messes up some of the lyrics. If you can get past that, this is a great version! Both halves are played with panache and are stuffed with interesting passages.
