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.

You bet your ass I'm listening to this today. 25 years since this bad boy was unleashed on NYC. It never gets tiresome for me.

I compared this to the widely (and rightly) lauded lauded version from the Giant Stadium show in June, and while that version packs a huge whallop, I honestly think this one is better. The sheer energy of it being a bust-out coupled with the timely specter of the Gulf War give it the perfect amount of momentum and intensity.

It's well performed, but "Dew" is not 2nd set opener material. It needs to be the climax of a particular suite. It shouldn't have to have anything follow it.
Take A Step Back

Giants Stadium

The Healy-fied Take a Step Back is so deliciously funky it actually disappoints me it never became a real song.

Hot version, Jerry drives it home at the end.
