this one is a gimme for Hornsby's jumpstart chops which makes for a devastating affair with jer and the guys lockin' in.

Drums -> Space
May 11, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Laconic and textural, devils hang loose. Chasms of endless spirals of blank fear only to be boingy wackjob cyberjazz, menacing, for OG 90's heads

Uncle John's Band
May 11, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

High spirited and activated septet playing. Lengthy tonal solo and manic 7/4 takeoff

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Blazing steamroller, Hornsby, flutterbird PITB. Elegant, direct, emblematic of the late style.

Ramble On Rose

Tivolis Koncertsal

billy kreutzmann sounds so damn tight on this. And god damn keith is doing some important things on this version. It's truly a gift that we have footage of this, one of my favorite dead songs at its epic birth

Chinatown Shuffle

i fucking love this shit man. Keith lays down a nasty and uber tasteful solo. Jerry and bill are on lsd too, look in their eyes, you can see it
Me and Bobby McGee

Tivolis Koncertsal

Bobby is dosed to the gills. just look at him before the song starts in the clip. and probably the rest of them are as well. This is after all the tour where Donna came to while she was hiding under Keith's piano during a dark star. This bobby mcgee is absolutely gorgeous and oh so psychedelic. Positively brimming with poignancy and Jerry is just too cool for words. Dedicated por los muertos. those germans probably didn't know what was hitting them. Very intense, funereal, jerry lays into the version with feeling
