Not normally a big fan of this song, but Bruce Hornsby on accordion adds a lot of welcome texture to the mix

Pig's harmonica playing and singing is great, and the rest of the band sounds just as good.

Brent is all over this one, and makes it a standout from a very good show.

Keith is going nuts and the drummers have a swing in their shoes. FANTASTIC version that needs some love.

Absolutely flabbergasted this isn't on here. An incredible version from Barton Hall. Brings tears to my eyes.

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

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

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.
