Shakedown Street
Epic Shakedown. Starts with lyric flubs by Brent and Bob, but rages onward to headiness.

Jack Straw
Powerful version. The vocal entrance at the end brings the house down, you can tell they're having fun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gjjkcVIoys

Bird Song
Very inspired playing. Jazzy swing from the rhythm devils, Lesh is barreling down the low end, and Jerry dancing the leads to a powerful conclusion

Superific China>Rider from a big show at Giants Stadium!!!

West L.A. Fadeaway
Superfluous rendition of my favorite song that has the word 'copasetic' in it!!!

Truckin'
Real heady summer '89 Truckin', great vocals and powerful playing, what else to say except hot!

Super tight post verse jam here. Surprisingly unlisted, considering it was just released as part of the Giants Stadium Box set

Gimme Some Lovin'
I liked the intro coming out of space plus the vocals didn’t make my ears bleed
