Just A Little Light
July 4, 1990
Sandstone Amphitheatre

This version is extremely delicate yet powerful. Brent is soulful a usual, while Jerry really goes to outer space with his fluttery lead lines.

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Very tight version, with a SUPER climax. Phil will rattle your teeth with this bomb! One of the best peaks

The Wheel

Blossom Music Center

Jerry's intro on this Wheel rivals Kincerbocker 1990. Just beautiful...

Very mellow, deep version here. Old man Jerry doing his best. Hornsby adds a lot too

The Spectrum

If you want a version where Jerry's voice is cracked with sorrow, loneliness, wisdom, and heart wrenching emotion...well here you go. Try not to cry.
Dark Star
July 7, 1969
Piedmont Park

Criminally underrated. One of my all time favorite Dark Stars
China Doll
Sept. 2, 1985
Zoo Amphitheater

This version is as good as any from the '80s. Jerry's ending solo is phenomenal! And his voice is haunting. What a powerful version.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
June 30, 1984
Indianapolis Sports and Music Center

This version has something special going on. Very Earthy and almost spacey, but with a ton of fire and grit! Summer '84 is so darn underrated.
Not Fade Away
April 23, 1977
Springfield Civic Center

One half of my favorite GDTRFB > NFA duo ever. What a killer groove they found here!
