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.

Omg, how many times did the Dead play at Winterland ? It's for all intents and purposes, their home base of this decade, I would argue. Amazing, tight and classic Bertha kicking off this gig - always a fun one to time travel. It was on this day 41 years ago.

What an insane fall 89 concert this is!! Seriously--- a treat. everything is clicking and thrashing, burning on this. Unforgettable inspired ending to the show.
