Throwing Stones

Cal Expo

VERY rare Throwing Stones that isn't the second to last set closer - goes straight into a solid GDTRFB

Eyes Of The World

The Centrum

Awesome Eyes, with what appears to be Jerry playing Bobby's licks in the very beginning - AUD only but spectacular nonetheless

Boston Garden

Petrified that I'm the first to nominate this - DO NOT SKIP JUST BECAUSE ITS AN AUD - Awesome Playin' that dissolves into a spectacular He's Gone

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

McNichols Arena

Nice late era dark star - cool feedback moment during the transition into Terrapin.
Feel Like A Stranger
Sept. 16, 1991
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.

Greek Theater

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
Comes A Time

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!
