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

Dupree's Diamond Blues
Aug. 31, 1983
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

Alabama Getaway

Silva Hall - Hult Center for the Performing Arts

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

Madison Square Garden

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

Rosemont Horizon

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 :)

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 25, 1990
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Certifiably heady China>Rider, In between jam is particularly sweet, takes a little bit for Phil to properly join the mix but once he does take cover cause you're about to be carpet bombed!
Eyes Of The World
May 5, 1991
Cal Expo

To comment on Beggarstombs previous comment, Bruce is actually not present for the Cal Expo shows - Vince only for 5/3, 4 and 5 of 1991. Makes Vince more impressive IMO
They Love Each Other
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe

FAT slow They Love Each Other - Phil bombs all across New Mexico, maybe people thought it was the White Sands Missile Range (~);)
The Eleven
Feb. 21, 1969
Dream Bowl

Incredible 11, like others have commented before tight and long! This really reminds me of the versions revived by the Phil Lesh Quintet that seemingly stretch on forever yet remain incredibly tight. Might be the best??
Promised Land
June 19, 1980
West High Auditorium

Supercharged Promised Land after Alabama, the boys are here to rock!
