Jerry's solos are as meticulously crafted as a spider web. Fluid, soulful, energetic. Great mid-80s' "Eyes."

Brent completely dominates this "Rooster."

Monster version that takes an already great show into 'epic' territory. Jerry sings and plays like a professional criminal here.

My favorite version from one of the best Dead shows I've ever heard. Jerry's on fire and the drummers are dynamite. Best one I've heard.

This is an outstanding latter day "Cumberland" and should have more votes. The band is super locked in here.
New Minglewood Blues

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Incredible version. This whole show is as good as any they ever played. Even Vince was better than he'd ever be at this one.
Foolish Heart

MONSTER version.
Morning Dew

Knickerbocker Arena

Listened to this one last night. It started off rough, but Jerry pulls it together by the end and the climax is worth it, though it ends a bit abruptly. It's got nothing on 3/27/94 as far as late era Dews go.
Unbroken Chain

Charlotte Coliseum

This is the best version because it's the only version where someone other than Phil seems to be fully invested in it. God Bless Hornsby, he pulled the band out of a ton of quagmires.
