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.

Grendel - it’s heady because Jerry pulls out some major licks in the solo. Think archive commenters are right when they note this was an indoor venue and that Jerry was probably feeling the heat - literally - a little less.

Surprisingly good vocals. Fun version.

Jerry’s really into it. When I think of happy summer dead shows, i always think of this one. Such beautiful early summer energy and hot playing. Everyone seems to know this show is special, and I’m glad about that.

Really fucking hot, Jerry is playing excellently. Again bumping this first set as possibly the best of the year. More people need to hear this!!
