JGB version. One of the best by any Dead related entity. Jerry is hungry.

One of if not the best I've heard. Jerry rips the paints off the walls.

Not long or jammed to the hilt, but Jerry sounds really good here. Enjoyable version.

The Other One
Dec. 30, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

This one needs to shoot up the list. The jams on this one kind of remind me of the 7/29/88 "Playing": frighteningly intense, unrelenting, you feel like you might not survive it, it's that heavy. The drummers and Brent are on a warpath here. A 'take no prisoners' version if there ever was one.
Ramble On Rose
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith

Excellent version from an excellent show.
Promised Land
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith

This one should be leagues higher than it is. This song hit its peak in 1990-91. Phil is a monster and the finale is off the charts.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 18, 1990
Madison Square Garden

This is an exquisite version. Around 11:40 Jerry fans the absolute fuck out of the peak like I've never heard before on an "Eyes."
Brown Eyed Women
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

Best post-Brent version by a huge margin, maybe even best of the 1990-95 era. Killer version, killer show. It's gonna rock on the big screen.
