Crush the coal to find this diamond. Not kidding: perhaps the rawest Let It Grow. Its got everything, Phil Bombs, Garcia raising you higher and higher

Jack Straw
March 25, 1985
Springfield Civic Center

This Jack Straw is 1985 in a nutshell: raw, sloppy, powerful, inspired, with scorching Garcia leads and Weir's whammy bar fuzz tones. Powerful.

Estimated Prophet

Hartford Civic Center

Catastrophic and mind-jarring panning and echo effect of Weir's Estimated vocals is wild. Truly an original treatment.

Hartford Civic Center

This LL Rain at this show is a pearl among the sludge. This is it! The band is on fire, and the outro features Weir going NUTS!

Eyes Of The World

Greek Theater

Blistering. I use to dismiss the early 80's and 1983 especially, but this Eyes and this concert (and the other 2 concerts at the Greek for Spring 83) are awesome.

This is a good one. Not much during Spring of 90 is bad.Almost all is solid and energized.

A good version. Jerry has some searing guitar lines in this one.
Looks Like Rain
April 4, 1986
Hartford Civic Center

1986 isn't the first year that people think of when it comes to dynamite performances. But this song captures everything amazing about this song you'd want. Howling Garcia leads, howling Weir shrieks, and the band is for at least one song at this show on fire. You must listen to appreciate.
Hell in a Bucket
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

One of my favorites right here. Muscle for sure.
