Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

Big River

Wembley Arena

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

perfect TJ. Jerry's vocal is aggressive and growly, his solo is totally ripping, Keith sounds amazing also. Not to be missed

just sit back and let this take you away. Phenomenal version, one of the all time best. they were definitely on in a cosmological way. One of those mammoth versions that just leaves you with this "what just happened????" feeling.
Uncle John's Band

Fox Theatre

Wow. Is there anything this show doesn't have? Jesus... Terrapin>PITB>UJB>Drums>Wheel>China Doll>Playing reprise..... That just speaks for itself right there. The harmonies on this uncle john, mickey's cowbell, Jerry's angelic soloing, the rage and might of the jam section, it's all just impeccable.... chefs kiss version
Bird Song

Baltimore Civic Center

What a stellar version of this. Veneta is more jammed out i would say but this "BAM" will knock you over. The way Lesh plays that bass just kills me..... a master.
Ramble On Rose
