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.

Row Jimmy
June 21, 1995
Knickerbocker Arena

Great Ackerman/Miller aud that really puts you in the room. Last Row Jimmy, pretty damn beautiful and aching. It seemed like there was a lot the band and Jerry especially wanted to get out of this show. The Jimmy and Dew are probably its saving grace.
That Would Be Something

RFK Stadium

Great version here, slower than the others and jammy. Very enjoyable.
Morning Dew
Sept. 2, 1980
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Exquisitely beautiful version. Not exceptionally unqiue mid solo or outro jam but definitely very strong. Jerry's voice was very fragile in 1980 and it sounds amazing here.
Aiko Aiko
Sept. 2, 1980
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Amazing version. Back when Iko was Aiko and it was really special. Melts out of space and back into one of the best Dews of the 80s. Groovy slow stoned-feeling version
Bird Song
July 3, 1988
Oxford Plains Speedway

Unreal version. Scary meltdown very reminiscent of the laguna seca Playin' from later that same month before a fantastic peak. There was magic every year!
