Talk about a sleeper...along with the "PITB" before it, this is probably the last time the Grateful Dead really went the distance in terms of jamming.

Searing work from Brent in a typically strong 1989 version. Surprised this was represented from a legendary show.

Creepy crawly version with lots of different themes and moods just like all good Spaces.

Not exceptionally long but still a very good version. Phil's great here.

Jerry is playing this one for Brent.

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

This one's awesome. It can hang with 3/27/94 and 3/20/92 as one of the best late era "Other One"'s. This whole second set is awesome.

Capital Centre

10/17/94 is not better than this one.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Do not go to this one if you want to hear mind busting peaks with flamethrower solos from Jerry. What makes this one shine is its subtlety, but more importantly the tight rhythmic dynamic between Phil, Bruce and the drummers.

Would've been first since 3/27/93 at the Knick.
