Onondaga Auditorium

Comes out of Estimated, nice & subdued in the beginning. The bluesy jam leading into the Other One is worth a listen. Brent is the man on this one

Capital Centre

Hot and heady Samson coming out of a Cumberland 2nd Set Opener - drummers and Brent are especially on

Nassau Coliseum

Punchy Spring '90 version - practically every "Dough Knees" from this period is a rocker

Jerry goes off and Phil really cranks it up near the end. Absolutely wonderful all around

KEITH! <3 really nice and mellow Rider after the Feelin' Groovy Jam transition
Dark Star

McNichols Arena

Nice late era dark star - cool feedback moment during the transition into Terrapin.
Feel Like A Stranger
Sept. 16, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Normally not a fan of Vince Era strangers but this one kills. The entire band is all over this one. Arguably one of the best first sets of the '90s.
Morning Dew

Greek Theater

Blistering to open the set. Jerry only sings ballads in the second set of this show, nicely done. SBD is great but Oade AUD is my go to. Jerry's rough vocals are nice on this one
Comes A Time

Lakeland Civic Center

Wow - amazing Comes a Time. Beautifully inspired jam into Stephen really sealed the deal, along with the amazing vocal harmonies Jerry and Donna pulled off. Bravo!
