Walking Blues

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

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

Brokedown Palace

The Spectrum

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

Samson and Delilah
March 28, 1989
The Omni

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

Not Fade Away
Dec. 6, 1981
Rosemont Horizon

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

Wharf Rat
Dec. 9, 1988
Long Beach Arena

Excellent Wharf with mighty fine jamming, leads into an unconventional Watchtower set closer

Charlotte Coliseum

Vince and Bruce dueling on this Iko is one of the best glimmers of a sparkling summer tour
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

The Spectrum

Clearly a comment on Jerry's health at this point - probably the reason why the only Post Space song was a killer Dew :/
Stella Blue
Sept. 6, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Nice Mind Left Body Jam to start off this Stella - serene like the ocean waves :)
Uncle John's Band
Sept. 9, 1982
Saenger Performing Arts Center

At first I liked it just for the novelty, but honestly it might just be one of the most pleasant UJB's I've heard from this era
Shakedown Street
Sept. 22, 1991
Boston Garden

Arguably best Shakedown of '91, at the very least tied with 6/22. Bruce's playing throughout makes it sparkle
