Fantastic band interplay on this one and Jerry's vocals are so soulful. Not a big fan of Peggy but this one cant be skipped. Chasingwilma AUD is great

Samson and Delilah

One of the finest Samson's I've heard - Jerry is especially killing it. Second song of the first set says it all. DONT SKIP bc it's an AUD only show

Estimated>Spoonful, one of two ever played. Jerry tries to link it together but it's a bit abrupt. Definitely fun though :)

As the previous comment said, just a really fun show. Whole show is to die for and I can't imagine how fun it was to see a post space Eyes

Victim>Eyes is an underappreciated combo, executed well this night
The Music Never Stopped

This is the first version when I truly understood why it's called The Music Never Stopped
Eyes Of The World

Nice Hornsby jam at the end
Playin' In The Band
March 31, 1991
Greensboro Coliseum

On the heels of a tremendous Eyes - I bet if this was included with the rest of the bonus on Dick's Picks 17 it would be *much* higher on this list
