Here's where the bus came by for me. My first show...every note is burned into my brain!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 16, 1991
Giants Stadium

Sick extended jaminess reminds us how much of a kick in the ass Hornsby gave Jerry

My first show. My first Stella. Mind blown...bus ride continues...

Desolation Row
Dec. 31, 1986
Kaiser Convention Center

Bob really belts it out on this relatively early version. WAS THAT SOME KINDA JOKE?!? Awesome...Zimmy would be proud.

Sugaree
Dec. 31, 1986
Kaiser Convention Center

Mature Sugaree from an underrated NYE show. Jerry's voice is so expressive and Brent finally has his part dialed on the B3.

King Bee
April 17, 1971
Dillon Gym

Headiest King Bee! Pig was on his SHIT this night!
Bertha
July 15, 1988
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
Sept. 2, 1988
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
July 17, 1989
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!
