Great guitar work highlights this version, Jerry is dialed in from the get-go. Great show.

Posted the wrong date before; anyway, this is a scorcher.

Don't sleep on this one - super dark and intense version.

Great version that gets really spooky towards the end. Very nice exploratory passages with Jerry, Brent and the Devils especially shining.

An utterly whacked out version. Healy's vocal effects are just plain weird.

Dark Star

Nassau Coliseum

This is a great version and extremely underrated. Coming off Winterland, you can feel the energy of its return to the East Coast.
Touch of Grey
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Feels like an appropriate statement to end the first great run after Brent died.
Big Railroad Blues

Blossom Music Center

This version should be higher. It fucking smokes.
Eyes Of The World
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

One of my all time favorites. They were still knocking it out of the park in 1991.
Morning Dew
April 15, 1978
William and Mary College Hall

Top 10 "Dew." Unbelievable intensity, especially the drummers.
