One of my favorite renditions. Crazy, psychedelic, and propulsive. 1988!!

Serene and beautiful. A salve for sore ears.

The Music Never Stopped
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center

Actually one of my favorite versions of this song, from a truly great show. The Dead still played some incredible concerts in early '95.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
March 27, 1988
Hampton Coliseum

Bobby's got a great guitar tone here, and this is a great, energetic version.

Samson and Delilah
Dec. 29, 1988
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Oh boy... Definitely agree about Brent. This one is super-charged with crazy amounts of energy!!! I've never heard a Samson jam sound like this before.
The Other One
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

A gigantic, thundering beast of a rendition. Taken along with the preceding Dark Star, this Other One is one hell of a force to be reckoned with.
Stella Blue
June 30, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

A true pantheon version.
West L.A. Fadeaway
July 19, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Yes, Jerry's guitar playing is completely insane on this one. Being able to watch his facial expressions while he sings it makes it doubly priceless.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Nov. 1, 1985
Richmond Coliseum

The second set of this show is one of all-time great start-to-finish second sets. A total work of art. I save this one for only the most atmospheric of occasions.
