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
Sept. 20, 1982
Madison Square Garden

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

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 20, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

This might be the happiest I've ever been listening to a Scarlet > Fire. Fresh off Dave's Picks 35, this makes the entire album worth it. So joyful and stuffed with positive vibes, particularly during Jerry's soloing.
Good Lovin'
Dec. 31, 1976
Cow Palace

If I'm not mistaken, I hear a little bit of the intro to "Here Comes Sunshine" here, particularly in the first section of the outro jam. It's very cool and a nice transition into Samson.
It Must Have Been The Roses
Sept. 28, 1975
Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

I'm not usually a fan of the Dead's '75 shows, but this one is an all-time best and the highlight of this show.
Passenger
May 16, 1981
Barton Hall - Cornell University

My favorite Brent version - and maybe my favorite ever!
