Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

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

devils filing the paperwork on this banging rendition, Jer bear howls it. Really nice one here.
Estimated Prophet
March 21, 1990
Copps Coliseum

Definitely check out the jam on this one - midi shredfest with lots of intricate choreography, what a killer!!! The version of he's gone to follow is a highlight for sure, another dynamite spring 90 gig
Standing On The Moon
March 21, 1990
Copps Coliseum

Mind shredding set one Standing. lyric is a bit of a geography lesson but Jerry sells it with aplomb and a lot of weighty passion... phenomenal mature texture on this lurking ballad.
Victim Or The Crime
March 21, 1990
Copps Coliseum

Dinosaur dystopian stomper, another rendition that gives them a chance to get technical with the improv, always pushing the boundaries with this one, prep school animal farm lyrics.
Queen Jane Approximately
March 21, 1990
Copps Coliseum

Metronomes up for this clear-eyed, full-hearted rendition, not your run of the mill set 1 filler - jer and phil gussy it up with fist-pumping arena rock, aviary glide and plinky stage piano patch
