Not a song I love, but this one has fire to spare. I love this show.

Gorgeous, lilting version with a transcendent solo. Brent is great on the keys, too.

On the war path for this show now. This is a fun, spritely version with great work from Jerry.

Thoroughbred version! Comes galloping out of the gate like a champ and never lets up. Part of a monster set 2.

Dark Star
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

People pay so much attention to the Kesey rap, it's easy to ignore that this "Dark Star" itself is pretty spectacular: very spacey meltdown. Also, the last split version and the last one where both verses were played in the same show.
Let It Grow

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Excellent version.
The Other One
Oct. 27, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

Did we just declare war? Phil's bombs are frightening here. Monster version.
Estimated Prophet
Dec. 16, 1994
Sports Arena

Just listened to this one last night. This one should be way higher. A truly out there version; this is the "Estimated" equivalent of the Miami '89 "Dark Star." It's terrifying at points.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 8, 1992
Richfield Coliseum

This is an absolutely fantastic late day China Cat -> Rider and should be way higher. It just ROARS!
