Bobby's birthday at the world famous Melkeweg. Yummy brownies make this version extra special.

DP #23 from Baltimore...yet another jazz exploration that winds and weaves and delights. More introspective than intense & quite worthy!

Fantastic 15+ minutes of standa-lone Scarlet featuring a very Phil-front bass section post-lyrics. Final jam section gets real jazzy, too.

From a hot steamy night in Texas an equally hot & steamy Terrapin, which melts into a great Estimated

Hidden gem! Jazzy mellow intro to fluid, energetic Garcia-led jamming. Cross-up on 'beaches & seasons" in 1st verse chorus- Phil yells "Get it right!"

Underrated version & show.

This is a gem that may have gone unnoticed for a long time for lack of a quality SBD but there's a Charlie Miller reworking that brings this forth in all its brilliance. As stated this one has that "Ace" album feel to it but it's expanded well beyond that thanks to Jerry who decides to keep the space vibe going well after Bob & the rest of the band appear headed into the reprise. Bob clearly starts playing it about 7 mins. in and Jer's having none of it. Soon the rest of the band is following Jerry back into the jam and going all in before they all have a meeting of the minds about 5 minutes later and bring home the rejoin as a flawless thing of beauty. This one is going directly into high rotation and is an easy +1.

Thanks to Darkstar67 for recommending the Dusborne Matrix. Haven’t listened to Dozin in a while and should have upped this previously. Just took it for granted I guess but the matrix brings it alive in a new way...coolest thing is you can hear how quiet the crowd goes, totally absorbed in Jerry’s beautiful reading. You miss that crowd feel on the official release. Top 3 all time version.

This one's got some serious pep and dang if Bob & Jerry don't sound all out & in sync belting out the vocals, which is really the key to them pulling off this tune. Jerry does take a nice little run after the initial vocal section--nothing too spectacular but sweet and bouncy before Vince gets in a tasty look, then it's back to the sing-out. Really impressed with this one and this show in general--chiefly the great second set--and it's not often you'll hear me say that about '92 shows.

I know everyone loves the big insane monster 20+ minute versions & they're great, but this early gem has great (if shorter) jams that are really tight and actually feature some nice Pig organ playing and spectacular ensemble vocals. The end jam gets all speeded out and for a classic acid drenched 60s sound it's tough to beat. I love this "mini" version!
