Spring tour of 1990. Does not get a whole lot better than this. Absolutely amazing show in general

Typically it's that late 89-90 jerry voice that really gives us empathy for the protagonist, but this 1980 version takes the cake. Very bluesy

Few days before the nightfall of diamonds show. Instrumentally the best, jerry might've forgotten a verse or two at the time.. What a beautiful song

If you love Brent's harpsichord, check out the 1989-10-14 version I posted, lyrically jerry was good here, remembered all of the lyrics unlike the previously mentioned version haha. Love this song

He did, after he died, the music wasn't the same in my opinion, he was a HUGE contributor to the show
