Another stellar 1970 offering. Such raw emotion.

China Doll
April 19, 1986
Berkeley Community Theater

For whatever reason, '86 was a strong year for this beautiful song. This one is flawless, and Jerry's vocals are A+

Jerry's '86 voice fits this song perfectly. This version will yank your heart strings.

Baba O'Riley > Tomorrow Never Knows
July 1, 1992
Buckeye Lake Music Center

This Summer ending show doesn't get much recognition, but I'll never forget ending that tour on this. Listening now it feels like yesterday.

Brokedown Palace
Oct. 12, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

Beyond comprehension why this isn’t in the Top 10. Absolutely beautiful.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 28, 1983
Poplar Creek Music Theater

This is one of those occasions where the aud source is the only way to capture the energy. This Help > Slip portion is beyond outstanding. The energy crawls through the speakers.
Spanish Jam
Sept. 4, 1983
Park West Ski Resort

This 6 minute Spanish Jam features some of the best Weir/Garcia dialogue of the early ‘80s. This SBD is crystal clear. Jerry’s snaky lead runs with Bobs angular counterpoint attack is mind melting!
Cumberland Blues
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

I LOVE the way Phil leads this one in...and how locked in they all are as they stomp this version out. A straight fire hoe-down!
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Jerry just runs spider fingers all over the fretboard on this Slipknot. These ‘84 versions are amazing.
