This one's got it!!! Great, as far as post-pigpen goes... Supported by diehard bobby energy and robustly happy mid 80's glide.

Crowd congeals on this one. Unstoppably creative phil, they go deep into the caverns of cosmic deaad, colombian antics and deluxe goodz.

The Other One
Sept. 18, 1990
Madison Square Garden

You should all be arrested for not listening to and upvoting this lesh-tastic version. the Dead are casting their spell on madison square garden on this legendary run of gigs and tonight is no exception. Locked in and nasty. Vince Welnick is clearly earning his stripes here. sometimes he chronically overplays but here his synth textures are exceptionally tasteful and they really add a lot of drama to what's going on in this version, which is mostly Jerry and Phil tearing their instruments to shreds. The devils are also right there. there is also a great loser, a heartbreaking to lay me down, a ripping promised land and an epic Eyesie on this show by the way.
