Dire Wolf

Nassau Coliseum

First Dire Wolf of the Vince era - and the playing kills as always. Just a line is butchered but a great rendition of this campfire song regardless

Vince only - and he does quite a fine job. Jerry helps pack a punch as always

Very hot Samson coming out of Eyes. Check out the transition from Eyes into Samson, will not disappoint

Nice first set choice - Jerry flubs some lyrics but the playing is great. Note that this is a Vince only '91 show and he kills

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 30, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Come for the China Cat, stay for the Rider. Jerry steals your face while screaming "On a Northbound Train"

Nice, standard 90's jam after the main song is over, Phil really leads the way here
Eyes Of The World

Boston Garden

Classic version, have to love these "disco" Eyes. Glad to see it get released on vinyl later this year

Subdued near Spanish jam at the end thanks to Jerry! First truly inspired playing in the second set, very cool lead into Terrapin. Excellent

Nothing to write home about - decent Eyes>Man Smart. The use of Jerry's MIDI during the jam of Eyes doesn't add anything for me personally
