Turn On Your Love Light
June 14, 1991
RFK Stadium

Hornsby always makes Jerry play better. Here's the AUD I've been loving: https://archive.org/details/gd1991-06-14.sennME80.wklitz.94371.flac16

Short (and an AUD patch), but kicks off a wonderful sequence.

Baltimore Civic Center

I can't imagine how much cooler/unbelievably freaky this would have been live/if I didn't know what was coming. . . . Holy [i]shit[/i] that was weirder than I thought it was going to be! It sounded like some dissociative nightmare hurdling towards you at 1,000 miles per hour—images, sounds, concepts fragment, break down, coalesce in unfamiliar forms, haunted voices taunt your memories. Egads. That was a lot. There was very little to stand on during that. But AH that > in The Wheel.

Ceaseless energy.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 13, 1980
Long Beach Arena

This is a great version. Top-notch Scarlet with a great transition and then killer Fire. Watch your face during that middle solo, Jerry might melt it clean off.

Giants Stadium

I'm embarrassed by my early comment and publicly retract it. This is 30 minutes of The Best Stuff.
He's Gone

Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Hands down the greatest version of this I have ever heard. The band hits a groove and rides the wave forever. Great vocal coda, everyone's cooking. Jerry hits the good stuff and mines deep. A must-hear, top-shelf performance.
