Ramble On Rose
Aug. 6, 1989
Cal Expo

1989 was a banner year for this song. Brent is on fire and Jerry is, well, Jerry. Killer version.

The Wheel

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

The symbolism of playing this one at Keith & Donna's last show makes this one significant. Great version.

Really strong version. Jerry's vocals are particularly sharp and playful here. Bobby and Brent deliver big here.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden

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.
New Speedway Boogie
Feb. 19, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

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.
Morning Dew
July 12, 1987
Giants Stadium

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
July 12, 1987
Giants Stadium

The Healy-fied Take a Step Back is so deliciously funky it actually disappoints me it never became a real song.
The Music Never Stopped
July 10, 1989
Giants Stadium

Hot version, Jerry drives it home at the end.
