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 :)

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

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

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'.
