Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Excellent Walkin' Blues from the Dueling Keyboard era - an exemplar of '91

The Spectrum

Encore at show that premiered Unbroken Chain live. A warm, coherent, and emotional Brokedown in an era of mediocrity. RIP Jerry

The Omni

Solid Set Opener, not as intense as later versions in the year but excellent nonetheless

Rosemont Horizon

Out of a spectacular space comes this masterpiece, chock full of jamming - descends into a great Wharf Rat

Playin' In The Band
July 17, 1982
Ventura County Fairgrounds

No major meltdown but a nice and mellow PITB that segues into China>Rider. Very rare transition indeed - perhaps the band was trying to spice things up a bit
Row Jimmy

Fox Theater

Have to agree with the last comment, starts out mediocre but as it chugs along it hits the sweet spot
Dark Star
June 24, 1973
Memorial Coliseum

6/8 Jam similar to many others, such as that found in the Other One on 7/1/73. Most definetely the highlight of the show - truly makes this Dark Star fantastic
Feel Like A Stranger
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium

Very laid back compared to earlier Spring '90 versions. Laid back show as a whole but the energy is still fantastic Edit - its been released officially (~):)
