Warfield Theater

Jerry is very, very sharp on this. Except for the lyrics.

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Amazing Bobby/Phil jam at the end of this one.

Ramble On Rose
July 14, 1990
Foxboro Stadium

This version rewards multiple listens. Like it was good the first time, great the second. I hesitate to listen to it again. Bobby leads the way.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Jerry plays one brilliant idea after another as Phil provides counterpoint.

Samson and Delilah
July 8, 1990
Three Rivers Stadium

Jerry is particularly sharp here. Plus the drummers don't fuck up the end.
Touch of Grey
June 16, 1990
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Oddly engrossing version of this difficult song, driven by Mickey and Brent.
Jack Straw
June 10, 1990
Cal Expo

Phil is on a mission here (check out the Bertha too). Right before his statement that contrary to rumor, he is not quitting the band.
Promised Land
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

First song after Branford first sat in, on "Bird Song," and you can tell Jerry is elated. Crushing version. Drummers were on their best behavior throughout this show as a musician was sitting in.
Stella Blue
March 24, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Exceptional solo and outro from Jerry; great vocals typical of his high emotion era
