The Beam appears only moments into drums...the deep throbbing bass notes explode in your chest while you run through this apocalyptic jungle...

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

out of He's Gone, the band in unison carefully and slowly knit a tapestry featuring beautiful and delicate adornments...the Other One tries to emerge.

never mind the crushing Phil Bombs; this is the birth of the Not Fade Away call and response, where the X-factor emerged as a hot, bright sun.....

At your next cocktail party, skip your routine pick up line and instead say,"Remember when Garcia opened up the 'fashion' riff to start off? Hot one.

Eyes Of The World
May 13, 1983
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.

Civic Center

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

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

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.
