Is there such a thing as a mellow Watchtower? This might be it. Goes into a great Dew

Dupree's Diamond Blues

Silva Hall - Hult Center for the Performing Arts

One of those heady, gritty early 80's Duprees. Also Jerry nails the lyrics! No fumbles at all, astonishing really

Lovely show opener, mix is a bit wonky at first but Phil is all over it. Great show all in all!

Peppy Iko to start the night off - good show overlooked by the rest of the run

They take their time for the intro. Right out of space into this Spencer Davis cover. Brent is the MAN!!! Phil in top form too of course :)

First time Phil sings in a looong time - amazed why such a legendary CRS is so low on the list

Space>Stella is just so awesome
Turn On Your Love Light
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

A rare and killer Lovelight encore - 'Shine on meeee'
Terrapin Station

Awesome jam after the main song, first with then without Jerry. Bobby teases the Playin' reprise right before they hit Drums
Victim Or The Crime
June 11, 1991
Charlotte Coliseum

Just to add to the previous comment, Victim>Eyes is one of the most underrated transitions and this version nails it. The other serious contender is from 10/28/90
