Simply beautiful. A gorgeous version of a gorgeous song. Jerry's solo is particularly powerful.

Entitled "Silver Apples of the Moon" on Infrared Roses - it's a Bruce and Vince duet that beautifully segues into "Dark Star"

The DRUMMERS...holy hell! They help elevate this peppy version. Great guitar work too - a highlight of the first set!

View from the Vault IV. A fantastic standalone "Scarlet" coming out of a hot "Hell in a Bucket."

Both keyboardists are giving it their all in this triumphant version. The perfect tempo, and perfect energy level!

Great version of a goofy song that people take WAAAAAAY too seriously. It's meant to be dumb fun and nothing else, and BOY is this a fun one!

Olympic Center

Holy shit. This one goes on and on, and Jerry is WILD. Fantastic version.

Laid back, well-played, and some excellent piano playing by Keith. This one may not have the tempo of classic versions, but it's TIGHT as hell.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Deer Creek Music Center

Hot hot hot! Everyone sounds great, and it's got a groove reminiscent of those classic 70's versions. Fun version from a strong show.
Feel Like A Stranger

State Fairgrounds

Really unique and jazzy jam - this song had a bunch of great versions in Maine (5/11/80, 10/12/84, and this one)
