Is there such a thing as a mellow Watchtower? This might be it. Goes into a great Dew

Dupree's Diamond Blues

Silva Hall - Hult Center for the Performing Arts

One of those heady, gritty early 80's Duprees. Also Jerry nails the lyrics! No fumbles at all, astonishing really

Lovely show opener, mix is a bit wonky at first but Phil is all over it. Great show all in all!

Peppy Iko to start the night off - good show overlooked by the rest of the run

They take their time for the intro. Right out of space into this Spencer Davis cover. Brent is the MAN!!! Phil in top form too of course :)

The ending is killer. Chills the spine
Might As Well

Greensboro Coliseum

Jerry really gets into the groove at the end of the first set of this show. This Might as Well and Cassidy before it are great!

Rather solid version for '94. I always tear up at hearing '94-'95 Jerry, but his voice and playing aren't bad here.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Listening to this on the new vinyl re-release and my mind is blown. Certifiably heady

Hits the spot. Nothing crazy by any means but just beautiful and nice. Has something of a Bird Song vibe close to the end
