Scarlet Begonias
EPIC Sugar Mag->Scarlet seamless transition! Like one big song. Phil and Jer are on fire!
12
New Minglewood Blues
Balls out. Tasty licks from jerry during the verses and everyone is dialed in this whole show
21
Bird Song
1989 was a very good year for Birdsongs. This one deserves consideration along with 10/8/89 and 12/8/89.

Jack A Roe
Went on here to vote for what IMO is the best Jack A Roe... and it wasn't here! Give it a try please :)
6
The Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo)
Brent! Brent! Brent! (And everyone else is just exactly right too.)
1
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Great energy - searing 2nd solo, no FOTM - is that why it's not here? It's deserving.

Man Smart, Woman Smarter
Killer version at Alpine. They skip the reprise vocal as they go into Eyes.
4
Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
Amazed that anything from these shows hasn't been submitted yet. Top shelf version like everything else from AV '89.
3
Promised Land
Searing work from Brent in a typically strong 1989 version. Surprised this was represented from a legendary show.
