Morning Dew
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIDBlV44DK0 Basking in this absolutely glorious version of Morning Dew, Jerry's vocals are diamonds deep in the labyrinthine mine of emotional time and space, his scream at 4:43 is where the insanity kind of starts. The devils and Brent right away start matching jerry's level of involvement and they know that it's special even for a Dew. I Definitely needed this. 8:14, legendary too, genuinely shocking moment and the crowd roars, they are in complete ecstasy. Everything in this version is just screamin'. one of those versions I would put on my ultimate playlist

Incandescent spirals of 81 PITB, continuing their 77 motorik/krautrock inspired explorations, this time with a fresh-faced mydland maneuvering his rhodes to push the guys into a frenzy!!!!! Must-listen playing , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvvYChZTXMw
