Bob does a nice little tribute to Pigpen in this one.

He's Gone

Madison Square Garden

Very powerful, percussive version. Sounds like they are about to go into a "Caution" jam at the end but it doesn't get there.

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
July 18, 1989
Alpine Valley

Amazed that anything from these shows hasn't been submitted yet. Top shelf version like everything else from AV '89.

Boston Garden

Jerry botches the lyrics but it's the last Boston Garden version, so that's significant. Nice solo, too.

Touch of Grey
March 27, 1987
Civic Center

This is not the first version post-coma, or even the first one of 1987. But there's something about this performance that puts definitive punctuation as to whether or not Jerry was truly back.
West L.A. Fadeaway
March 27, 1987
Civic Center

This needs to be at the top, I will absolutely put it up against 7/19/89 and 3/22/90. Just an absolutely ferocious version.
Alabama Getaway
March 27, 1987
Civic Center

I still can't believe this and several other versions from this show are down as low as they are. This charges along with that 'new lease on life' energy Jerry had and doesn't let up.
Brokedown Palace

Shoreline Amphitheatre

I'm very surprised this one is as low as it is. Sung with great feeling, Clarence's sax is a surprisingly effective touch.
Turn On Your Love Light

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Wouldn't be a sax show without "Lovelight"!
