You know the crew is feeling spritely and in a cowboy mood when they play this, blessed frequently in '89 with it.

Pigpen cut revived for the 90's with the group in kind of a slow crawling king snake vibe. Vince knows how to lay down some organ. Top late form.

beautiful, exemplary Disco dancing, Jerrt going the distance once again, his crazy fingers getting a workout at this freaking awesome show that was memorialized, some of it anyhow, on DP29.
Ramble On Rose

One of the best ones ever, dizzyingly powerful solo and all the vocals as well. something about this version is addicting like a tooth worm too! // 3rd time ive come back to edit this just to say, if there's a better Ramble idk it. the solo is simply jerry at his finest, that moan at 5:42 is haunting and the last build up and verse is like a gust of arctic sun
