Convincing vocal performance by Jer. Especially second verse.

Cumberland County Civic Center

Rowdy, spirited version. Jerry not quite done with it when everyone else is.

Listen to Phil on this one. Then listen to Bobby.

Morning Dew

The Fox theater

OK, I'll say it: "I can't believe this isn't on here." Majestic, powerful MD. Jerry on a mission. Bobby playing clippety-cloppety sounds in the coda.

This outro jam sounds great on headphones and in your living room but it probably never sounded better than wafting over a sea of VW buses in a pre-show parking lot circa 1991.
Bird Song

Warfield Theater

Incredible Bird Song. Jerry is killing this jam. Reckoning version is great but they could have picked this one.

The middle solo and the singing after it are exceptional

I want what Jerry's having.

Agreed with Jort. Just listen to the first 5 notes of Jerry's solo. He came to play. Long, elaborate, lines. An edge to it. Matrix sounds awesome.
