Greatest Story Ever Told

Glenns Falls Civic Center

Brent's First, the official revival of this song. Bobby forgets some end lyrics but just repeats the first verses to save face. Great Jerry jamming

The Other One

Oakland Coliseum

Slithers out of space & into Dew. Not very intense but Jerry is on it 100%

Samson and Delilah

Knickerbocker Arena

One of the worst Samson intros ever; clunky start, band discombobulated, Bobby throwing out lyrics at the wrong pace. Settles down in the second half

Star Lake Amphitheater

Excellent Vinnie era rendition of this early Dead tune. Last one of '92 - these became exceedingly rare in this time period

Killer Promised Land
Eyes Of The World
Dec. 7, 1979
Indiana Convention Center

The transition from the faster paced dynamic Eyes of the late 70's to the coke-fueled rocket speed version often seen throughout the 80's is a journey in and of itself ... great Eyes here though
Dancin' in the Streets

Stanley Theater

Amazing jam around 10-11:30 min in - everyone contributes really amazing
The Other One
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena

Estimated>O1 is so amazing everytime the combo was played it was done with class (i.e. 5/9/77)

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Jerry's awake! A very good version this late in Jerry's life quite frankly + the whole band is just on point
