Rosemont Horizon

Just a lovely version. Beautiful little mid solo and lovely synths and harmonies from Vince. These spring 94 shows are almost universally underrated.

Uncle John's Band
July 15, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California

Really awesome version. First I've heard since May 77 starting with the coda/reprise - the whole song is beautiful, too. Great freaking show often overshadowed by the first night (dark star yadda yadda...)
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 13, 1983
Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

BLAMMO this version slams right into Fire. powerful stuff. Jerry can do no wrong throughout scarlet as well.

Very kind version. Jerry adds a little extra on the vocals.

Kingswood Music Theater

But ya wont let Jerry STOP! Greasy version, love it. Weird SEVA benefit ft wavy gravy. Wish the dead hadn't stopped being this weird by '87.
Good Lovin'

Giants Stadium

First Bertha>GL to open the second set since like 78 or 79. Well played and enjoyable. Wonder what brought this combo out in 93 of all years. Bobby initiates the GL transition and the rest of the band seems to pause for a second like "fuckin Weir, maaaan" before launching into a very nice version.
