Spanish Jam
May 30, 1992
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

This Spanish Jam building out of Space on the heels of a MASSIVE thunder and lightning storm is absolutely breathtaking. Best of the '90s.

Mind Left Body Jam

Portland Memorial Coliseum

I argue this chunk of music containing the MLB jam after Truckin' is some of the best music the Grateful Dead have ever played. Bar none

It Must Have Been The Roses
April 11, 1988
Joe Louis Arena

About as heavy an emotional delivery as you'll ever get. This one digs DEEP.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

'87 is full of tight versions, but this is about as rock solid as they come. Roaring climax!

Jerry absolutely destroys this one. God what a show!
Touch of Grey

This is the best Touch > Greatest ever played bar none. This is and always will be my go to version.
Cumberland Blues
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

This whole middle chunk of Set 1 is Hyperspeed Jerry at its absolute best. Jer absolutely tears up the end jam.
Eyes Of The World
May 30, 1992
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

This Eyes is hands down a Top 5 of the '90s. In my personal Top 5 all time actually. Just flawless and absolutely epic in every way.
