Winterland Arena

Nice locked in version. 13 minutes of what a Playin' should be.

Might As Well

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This show is often overlooked, but excellent on its own merits. Opens with a bang with a powerful Might As Well.

I really love this Supplication. It starts pretty chill and then catches fire.

This is really sweet version at this killer show. Keith and Jerry really are the highlights on this one. The first big highlight of this show. Cool intro.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden

^^^^extremely well stated. The palpable energy with each bulid-up is evident on the audience tapes, but still heard thru the soundboard. As I stated before, the crowd is in a frenzy until the first verse of LL Rain. The final build-up is like no other FOTM ever played. At this show, you then get a groovy jammed out Corinna before the drums to show the other cool side of the GD.

Thelma Theater

This is a killer DS as they transition it to the a 1970 sound. Has a touch of space, FG jam, and all the great components. Probably way too low with 12 votes.

I have said many times 3/27/94 is so tasty even though the set list is meh. The Samson is huge. The Jacks back to back to open are tight af. I need to listen to 5/31/92 Dew again.
