Very Good + version with an excellent Jerry MIDI solo with a wah-wah horn-like tone

Fantastic version! Tons of MIDI Jerr w/ flute-like and synthy guitar tones. Jerry and Brent come to a blistering dissonant peak before final chorus

Uncle John's Band

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

really great improv after a poorly sung version - the longest UJB of the Brent era to my knowledge.
Terrapin Station

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

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
