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

Is it just me or does Bobby play some riffs/chords from the China>Rider jam? Tryna see if I'm not the only one who noticed this
Ship of Fools

Internationales Congress Centrum

Jerry falters with the lyrics but the playing is masterclass
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Deer Creek Music Center

Soundboard mix really shows how Bobby was beginning to step it up around this time - Jerry's health was deteriorating (hence no '92 Fall Tour) and it was clear his job was more important than ever

Wharf Rat

Cardinal Stadium

Best of '90? Can't believe this one's overlooked, even with official video released. Just the intro is over a minute long. Follows a rare for the period post-space Truckin'.
