Alabama Getaway
March 24, 1986
The Spectrum

Don't be fooled by the year. Jerry's total on for this first set and rips out a great "Getaway" at the top.

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.
