Drums -> Space
Sept. 29, 1993
Boston Garden

Drums has a deep ambient gamelan jam between the BAM BAM intro and beam. Space is CD-ROM-era tones and vaporwave-core

The Same Thing

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

I have very little patience for Bobby blues - but Jerry and Vince are very present and riffing on this cut

Very well delivered - a few mumbled F bombs

Hampton Coliseum

Drums is very drippy and boom boom. Weird effects on space / phasery, flangery stuff. Very Frippertronics-like version. Transitions into Spanish Jam

Nassau Coliseum

Super floaty version with an uplifting MIDI flute solo at approx 5:30. Lovely Vince-era rendition.

Uncle John's Band
April 23, 1984
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

really great improv after a poorly sung version - the longest UJB of the Brent era to my knowledge.
Terrapin Station
April 22, 1986
Berkeley Community Theatre

nice fusion-y outro jam leads into a bad trip chaotic zone before transitioning into drums
Terrapin Station
June 16, 1990
Shoreline Amphitheatre

The most unheralded Grateful Dead jam of all time. This is a nearly 45 minute Terrapin with a massive, drippy, full band improv. Kind of Brent's last hurrah in terms of deeeeeeeep improv. The only reason that this is buried is because it isn't from a marquee year like 1977 or 1989. Should be in the top 3.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
March 31, 1986
Providence Civic Center

incredibly atypical zone coming out of this jam. Bobby tries to audible to Uncle Johns, but gets nodded off, full band improv winding down into drums
Crazy Fingers
Oct. 29, 1985
Fox Theater

delicious / atypical outro jam with full band improv and teases of The Other One and Supplication winding down gently into Drums
