Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

Whopping late '77 version of this, the Dead intuitively coasting the waves of the atmosphere's collective imagination.

Blow Away
Sept. 29, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Slinky and sermonlike.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 29, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Totally mammoth china rider from a really out there gig.
We Can Run
Sept. 29, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Damn I love that hell-or-high-water bawling controlled tenor of Brent Mydland. Burning cut from the shooting star of him
Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
Sept. 29, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

A side note, as with so many tomes of that bard and poet of the soul's misanthropic landscape, observer of the plight and vice in worldly society, Bob Dylan, it's a feat to remember all those words on our ol' bobby's part and he sounds great
Franklin's Tower
Sept. 29, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

What to say about Franklin's Tower.... a tune that feels like comin' home but yet with a wary eye behind you, never knowing what's gonna happen. "Some come to laugh their past away, some come to make it just another day". Chill exploration on those uber-classic chord changes and impassioned delivery from Brent and Jerry on this.
