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 (~):)

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

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

First time Phil sings in a looong time - amazed why such a legendary CRS is so low on the list
Stella Blue

Space>Stella is just so awesome
Turn On Your Love Light
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

A rare and killer Lovelight encore - 'Shine on meeee'
Terrapin Station
June 11, 1991
Charlotte Coliseum

Awesome jam after the main song, first with then without Jerry. Bobby teases the Playin' reprise right before they hit Drums
Victim Or The Crime
June 11, 1991
Charlotte Coliseum

Just to add to the previous comment, Victim>Eyes is one of the most underrated transitions and this version nails it. The other serious contender is from 10/28/90
