Greatest Story Ever Told

Glenns Falls Civic Center

Brent's First, the official revival of this song. Bobby forgets some end lyrics but just repeats the first verses to save face. Great Jerry jamming

The Other One
Dec. 13, 1992
Oakland Coliseum

Slithers out of space & into Dew. Not very intense but Jerry is on it 100%

Samson and Delilah

Knickerbocker Arena

One of the worst Samson intros ever; clunky start, band discombobulated, Bobby throwing out lyrics at the wrong pace. Settles down in the second half

Star Lake Amphitheater

Excellent Vinnie era rendition of this early Dead tune. Last one of '92 - these became exceedingly rare in this time period

Powerhouse of a River. Really excellent, everyone on
Cassidy

Frost Amphitheater

Odd as it's the first song of the set, but this is actually a pretty nice Cassidy. Frost is a great place to space your face
Shakedown Street

Frost Amphitheatre

Excellent, highly underrated. The recent AUDs are hot for this show
