AUD only but fire! Not totally smoking but its heady for sure. The Dead opening for Hendrix can't get any better than that

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 :)

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

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
