All Along the Watchtower

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

Dupree's Diamond Blues
Aug. 31, 1983
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

Alabama Getaway

Silva Hall - Hult Center for the Performing Arts

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

Aiko Aiko

Madison Square Garden

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

Rosemont Horizon

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 :)

Aiko Aiko
June 11, 1991
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
March 24, 1986
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
