Nassau Coliseum

Nice jammy Uncle John's sandwiched between Shakedown and Playin. I prefer the Eaton AUD over the SBD as of 2/13/23.

Really great, lovely extended intro thx to Jerry. Everyone is on point and is a nice transition from the beautiful Comes a Time that preceeded it

Dire Wolf

Frost Amphitheater

Despite the lack of vocals at the very beginning this is a great laid back Dire Wolf. The Frost is a nice place to space your face (~):)

The Omni

Phil's singing is really solid on this one, band doesn't stumble over each other.

Turn On Your Love Light

Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium

Valentine's Day '88 - very fitting for them to close with Lovelight. They played Lovelight at every Valentines show. Great band interplay

Here Comes Sunshine

Winterland Arena

Is it just me or does Bobby play some riffs/chords from the China>Rider jam? Tryna see if I'm not the only one who noticed this

Jerry falters with the lyrics but the playing is masterclass
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 28, 1992
Deer Creek Music Center

Soundboard mix really shows how Bobby was beginning to step it up around this time - Jerry's health was deteriorating (hence no '92 Fall Tour) and it was clear his job was more important than ever

Wharf Rat

Cardinal Stadium

Best of '90? Can't believe this one's overlooked, even with official video released. Just the intro is over a minute long. Follows a rare for the period post-space Truckin'.
