Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Excellent Walkin' Blues from the Dueling Keyboard era - an exemplar of '91

Encore at show that premiered Unbroken Chain live. A warm, coherent, and emotional Brokedown in an era of mediocrity. RIP Jerry

The Omni

Solid Set Opener, not as intense as later versions in the year but excellent nonetheless

Rosemont Horizon

Out of a spectacular space comes this masterpiece, chock full of jamming - descends into a great Wharf Rat

Excellent Wharf with mighty fine jamming, leads into an unconventional Watchtower set closer

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.

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!
