Really fun, rocking version to close out what's really an excellent show. Top 5 of 1993.

Spunky version from the first night of the last MSG run. Jerry is alert, singing with confidence and playing extremely well.

Fuck this song, but the entire show is now represented. Decent Jerry leads.

Lovely version of the Dylan classic. Jerry plays some great leads and his acoustic tone works extremely well here.

Not the biggest fan of this song, but this is a good version with a strong Jerry solo.

Morning Dew
Dec. 27, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

The first 2/3's of this "Dew" are absolutely incredible: the drummers are possessed, Bobby and Brent are on fire, and Jerry's vocals are among the most soulful he's ever layed down on a "Dew," and his mid-song solo is scorching. Unfortunately, Jerry's guitar completely goes out during the final jam, rendering an otherwise spectacular version a crushing disappointment. All I can say is it's a fucking shame.

One of the top 5 shows of 1991 right here (1. 10/27 2. 9/10 3. 3/20 4. 6/17 5. 12/28).

One of those "Dew"'s where the finale makes me feel like I'm holding on for dear life. Teeth clenching stuff.

So I know I'm four days late but I wanted to acknowledge the 25th anniversary of this miracle of a "Dew." Seriously, bump this fucker into the Top 5. Only 5/8/77, 5/22/77, 5/26/72 and 9/18/87 beat it.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

I didn't really feel this one. Jerry sounds totally disinterested vocally, especially on "Scarlet," where he makes meat loaf out of some the lyrics ("tucked into her shoes"?). That said, the MIDI transition is really cool and Jerry does pull together some great solos during "Fire," so I guess it's a bit like 5/26/95 in that regard.
