Bruce's accordion really makes this one shine, and I'm not even a fan of it. Make of it what you will. + Phil bombs galore

Smokestack Lightnin'
July 30, 1988
Laguna Seca Recreation Area

Rare standalone Smokestack reeling out of Space, sweet playing to boot

Silva Hall

Solid 1st set closing Touch - Brent's keys add to the shine

Truckin'
Dec. 30, 1983
Civic Auditorium

On the heels of a sweet MLB jam - Bobby blows some lyrics but the playing is where it's at - dissolves into a nice Wharf Rat

Rare late era post-Space He's Gone - Phil bombs abound on this one

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

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
May 21, 1977
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!
