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

Not Fade Away
Aug. 19, 1989
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Nearly gets to some of that primal Dead energy, such a great version is definitely underrated
Eyes Of The World

The Spectrum

NOT performed on this date, last played 9/8/90, next played 9/18/90
Spoonful
Sept. 11, 1990
The Spectrum

There is simply not a better Spoonful around, sorry. Entire second set might comprise one of the top 3 nights of the entire year, let alone the '90s or Vince era. Never really hear the band truly dig THIS deep until parts of Spring 91 and 12/28/91 Same Thing bust out. Incredible leading by Phil in the jam on this one
He's Gone
Sept. 11, 1990
The Spectrum

One of the best of the year melts into the BEST Spoonful not just of the year but ever. R.I.P. Brent

Very nice, unexpectedly deep Estimated. Love the Jerry noodling at the end before he goes all in for Eyes
