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

Madison Square Garden

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

Civic Center

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!
Deal
Oct. 17, 1983
Olympic Center

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

The Palladium

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
June 28, 1992
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
Sept. 6, 1980
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)
