The Worcester crowd is really into it. Another hot version. Aren't they almost always hot?

Jerry singing Big Boss Man to open the show - and nobody has mentioned this yet?

This era is overlooked and underappreciated. This - like most around this time - cooks.

Spokane Coliseum

Love the restraint Jerry plays with during the second instrumental break. Very measured and disciplined.

Bob's rap starts off with an indirect mention of Pigpen.

Friend of the Devil
Oct. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Underrated run of shows. 1991 had a lot of highlights and these 4 shows from Oakland are all very good.

Guys - you forgot to fit Sunshine Daydream in somewhere. As the instrumental break post vocals starts, Bruce sits back and lets Jerry take the lead and after a while, he jumps and and has some fun.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 9, 1987
UIC Pavilion

Jerry nails the instrumental break. A rollicking good version.
The Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo)
March 19, 1986
Hampton Coliseum

For a non-jam encore, there is a short, but sweet instrumental break.
Smokestack Lightnin'
Sept. 5, 1991
Richfield Coliseum

Having similar melodies, it almost sounds like they're going going to play New Speedway Boogie. It's got that great intensity, focus and execution like so many great tunes played in 1991.
