Don't sleep on this one - the band is firing on all cylinders to cover this lovely Dylan song

Really fascinating space/jam after drums, lots of other one hints that ends in an abrupt NFA transition

Phil-tastic - some vocal miscues but excellent regardless

KEITH! <3 really nice and mellow Rider after the Feelin' Groovy Jam transition

Nice late era dark star - cool feedback moment during the transition into Terrapin.
Feel Like A Stranger

Madison Square Garden

Normally not a fan of Vince Era strangers but this one kills. The entire band is all over this one. Arguably one of the best first sets of the '90s.

Blistering to open the set. Jerry only sings ballads in the second set of this show, nicely done. SBD is great but Oade AUD is my go to. Jerry's rough vocals are nice on this one

Lakeland Civic Center

Wow - amazing Comes a Time. Beautifully inspired jam into Stephen really sealed the deal, along with the amazing vocal harmonies Jerry and Donna pulled off. Bravo!
