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

Sweet, sweet, down-home and yokey Jerry.

The Same Thing

Buckeye Lake Music Center

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.

Slinky and sermonlike.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Totally mammoth china rider from a really out there gig.
We Can Run

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.
