Jerry's weathered voice and Brent's organ add depth and texture to this excellent version.

Shakedown Street
Dec. 31, 1984
SF Civic

This is the best Shakes down. I used to be on the Merriweather bandwagon and that version is still outstanding to me but this one is longer, stronger, and funkier. Just never lets up.
Sugar Magnolia
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center

I'd be curious to see if there were any versions from 1995 that are better. This, "The Music Never Stopped" and "Truckin'" all received their last truly great renditions at this show.
Comes A Time
Sept. 16, 1991
Madison Square Garden

I love this "Comes a Time." So rich, mature and soulful. First one in awhile, I think.
Jack Straw
Sept. 14, 1991
Madison Square Garden

This is an excellent Jack Straw from a fantastic show that made Rolling Stone's list of best Dead shows.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 27, 1988
Hampton Coliseum

Listening to this one now, this is a great version. "Scarlet" is nice and laid back and the last 3 1/2 minutes before it enters "Fire" are quite beautiful. Then Jerry lays the heat down on "Fire."
