Great version with some great banter from Bob: “If it’s any comfort to anyone, in 1890 in Cairo, Illinois, it rained fish

Me and My Uncle
April 23, 1977
Springfield Civic Center
It’s the first one since ‘74, and it’s really good. That extended Bobby intro is sublime
Row Jimmy
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center
I’m gonna relisten to this and the 27th(DaP 36). These later-day versions of Row Jimmy are spectacular. Jerry isn’t using his slide anymore, instead opting for a more echoey and ethereal solo, which works perfectly. I also noticed Brent’s keyboards towards the latter half seem to take on the tone they did in the mid-eighties, which he was abandoning after Jerry came back. Great version!
Standing On The Moon
Sept. 16, 1990
Madison Square Garden
Yeah this one might be my favorite. Jerry’s vocals seem a little rough, but they’re so soulful, and combined with Brent’s recent passing make this one truly heart wrenching. Also lots of Jerry ballads in this set, He’s Gone, SOTM, Dew. Love the spacey jams in this one too
Touch of Grey
Sept. 17, 1982
Cumberland County Civic Center
This one is a beast, especially considering it’s only the second one ever played. The lyrics are shuffled a bit and the instrumentation is different from how it would be released on In The Dark. The groove though is infectious. What makes this even more great is the upcoming Hunter Seamons matrix of this show. Very excited, very good
Spanish Jam
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center
This one is great. Been trying to listen to more Spanish Jams recently, and this one is by far one of the best I’ve heard. They constantly flirt with The Other One; Phil especially. Around the 6 minute mark Phil tries to coax everyone by playing the intro, and Bobby teases him, sending the band into deep space for a while. Great version!
