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.

Sugaree
Sept. 8, 1990
Coliseum

These shows in Ohio and at the Spectrum in Philly get overlooked because of Bruce joining them at Madison Square Garden. Big mistake. This show is especially excellent. The pre-Drums in Set 2 gets all the attention but they attack the first set as well. With Vince still learning the ropes and holding back a bit, Jerry, Bobby and Phil were all extra focused.

RE: cgarces' comment about this being a 'greatest hits' show, had they cut the cowboy tunes, "FTHOM," and the covers aside from "NFA" and "GL" and found room for any combo of "Dew," "Playin'," "China -> Rider," "Sugaree," "Estimated," "Jack Straw," "Truckin'," "Bird Song," "Ripple," "He's Gone," or "Shakedown," yes, it would be the most insanely perfect Dead show of all time.

I forgot how much I love Jerry's tone on this one; just so sharp and articulate.
Friend of the Devil

Unless I'm missing something from early 1979, Keith's solo here is his last great moment of complete lucidity as he was well into his decline by this point.

Without question, the best one.
