Super hot show opener, Jerry is here to PLAY! Speedy licks all over. Possibly the best first set of the year, although totally unknown show.

The very slow tempo that a lot of first set songs had in 1992 suits this one wonderfully.

Probably the most underrated version in the history of Bird Songs. Incredible jazzy jamming from Jerry that peaks extremely hard.

Just exactly perfect. Slow, emotive, and well-played. Jerry's old-man vocals fit this one perfectly.

It's okay, and worth a vote for the effort put in, but it's really hard to watch Jerry struggling with licks he could have played effortlessly several years before.

Jerry rallies for a VERY hot mid solo. Shredded, great peak. Surprising how random it could be where he showed up playing well in shows in this era.

Yeah, awesome pick GR. Definitely slower than some of the coked up 80s versions, which is a major plus, and jerry's soloing is quite focused.

Knickerbocker Arena

Great jamming, Jerry turns up the funk and vince's keys sound awesome. Lots of underrated spring 91 shows, most of them featured just Vince on keys which gave the band some breathing room IMO

DS - One of the best Garcia moments ever. This whole east coast tour was unbelievably high energy, unreal that we have video
