One More Saturday Night
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium

A good one played on a Saturday night. Kicks into gear in the second half. Brent's organ is stellar, and Jerry's midi textures add flavor to the mix

Not Fade Away
Sept. 21, 1982
Madison Square Garden

Fiery, with loads of Brent organ and a tight jam. Everyone's totally locked into the groove.

Me and My Uncle
Oct. 11, 1983
Madison Square Garden

Big energy, a good Jerry solo, no lyrical flubs, and transitions into a hot Mexicali Blues. What else could you ask for?

Dupree's Diamond Blues
Sept. 20, 1982
Madison Square Garden

Is there a single version of Dupree's that DOESN'T put a smile on your face? This one's a ton of fun, and a big highlight of an under-appreciated show

Candyman

Madison Square Garden

Brent's piano is a major factor in this hot version. Tempo is just exactly perfect.

So Many Roads
Oct. 1, 1994
Boston Garden

Makes me cry like a baby every time I hear it. Chills down my spine - a flawless performance by Jerry, and as emotional and heartfelt as a Dead performance ever got. The cherry on top of the last truly incredible show.
Feel Like A Stranger
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

Best-ever, in my book. This one's got all the right kinds of drama and tension that the track should have. A great opener to a great show.
Cumberland Blues
Oct. 21, 1983
Worcester Centrum

Always liked Brent's keys on this version - he really carries it, and this track's one of the highlights of this show because of his playing.
New Minglewood Blues
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

My number two version! A furious version from one of their all-time great shows, and sets the tone for the whole night.
Dark Star
Oct. 26, 1989
Miami Arena

Beautiful, terrifying, and nothing short of nightmare fuel for those brave enough to give it a listen. I've never heard a scarier Dark Star in my life, but I love it nonetheless.
