Garcia's leads are like lightning...Bob pleads for no more rain while thunder and lightning flood the P.A. and the crowd goes wild

A Horrible year with very bad music. But this song is flawless and perfect.

Peak after Peak after Peak. This is an amazing version. Perhaps the best?

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.

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.

One of my favorites right here. Muscle for sure.
