THICK Phil on this one.

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

He's Gone
Sept. 21, 1982
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.

Brokedown Palace

Boston Garden

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

The Other One
April 6, 1982
The Spectrum

Given how ridiculously short it is, this one packs a huge whallop; it is indeed quite nerve wracking, Jerry is furious here.
Aiko Aiko
Oct. 27, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Epic version that doesn't quit. The Aiko -> Mona is 25 minutes of Bruce era Dead at its absolute best.
Mona

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This really needs more love thrown its way. If it hadn't been posted only fairly recently it would probably get more love. One of their best post-Brent excursions.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 27, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This really is an awesome version. The transition is nice and long, they don't rush it and everyone's doing their part and succeeding. I forgot how thick Phil is on the soundboards from these shows.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1983
Hartford Civic Center

10/14 is a good date for history book quality "Scarlet -> Fire"'s. This one is swimming in precision, power, creativity and groove.
