Bright and clear Jerry leads early, then Bobby and Vince dominate the second jam. Smooth.

Jerry's front and center on the build-up; Great climax.

Deer Creek Music Center

Nice version, with Jerry really getting into it at the end.

Sports Arena

After getting this jam on tape from the Grateful Dead Hour, I was convinced they were going to bust it out on the Spring tour. It was as close as they ever came to playing it again. It's kind of a hybrid St.Stephen/Last Time jam, but definitely worth checking out.
Around and Around
Jan. 25, 1993
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

At this point in the band's career, stretching Around and Around out like this amounts to experimentation. The relaxed, jazzy middle section is perfect for a Bay Area Dead crowd. I was at this show and everyone was completely digging this. Really great version.
So Many Roads

Star Lake Amphitheater

The climax almosts makes up for how sloppy the beginning is, with Jerry spacing lyrics left and right. Still great for 1992.

The Palace

A little rushed at the beginning, but what a climax! Excellent.
