My first one. Missed the bustouts at Hampton '89 and RFK '90, but this one was huge...actually, the whole show was pretty colossal!

Jerry just nails this version to the wall coming out of a sick Eleven Jam. This one is special.

Okay, the Alligator's kinda short, but I nominate the entire Alligator>Drums>Eleven Jam because it hasn't been talked about on here. Smokin'.

"C'mon everybody get in a big long line and dance around now!" Absolutely primal Dead

Towering Dew. Jerry just emotes all over the place! The Ripple gets all the love from this night, but the Dew is the climax and the real highlight.

Nice Hornsby-dominated latter-day version. Starts off the show and the tour with some serious juice!

Jer has a real hard time with the lyrics here, but makes up for it in the jam!

Maybe not as grandiose as some others, but so RAW...if this ain't Primal Dead, I don't know what is
