Sweet, powerful latter-day version on a hot afternoon on the soccer field at Cal State.

Why isn't this rager on here yet?! Maybe not as long as some, but full of that early Dead energy that we love so much!

Absolutely ROCKIN' Mason's kicks off the eeeelectric portion of this show. This might be the first one ever played...they rip it up!

Headiest King Bee! Pig was on his SHIT this night!

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

My absolute favorite latter-day version. All the pops are where they should be...tight!
Tennessee Jed
July 10, 1989
Giants Stadium

Another titanic Jed from summer '89...It had just started to POUR, so Jerry sings "bound to wind up WET!" Monster stadium-sized solo, too!
Althea

Capital Centre

My first show! What a treat...didn't know how good we had it back then. Althea was really elusive for me after this for some reason. One of the best Dead songs ever.
Desolation Row

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Yeah, I know this one is from the 19th, but I'ma vote for it in both places because I was there and it ROCKED!
