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.

Estimated Prophet

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

To quote Dylan, 'hotter than a crotch.' One of the best ever post-Brent performances of this song. Bruce is on fire here and I love Weir's vocals.
Terrapin Station
Oct. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

The heaviness of Bill Graham's passing is dripping all over this run, and it made the band channel some serious intensity into the big numbers: "Scarlet -> Fire," "Playin'," "Estimated," "Eyes," the Kesey "Dark Star," and this "Terrapin Station." This a truly epic performance, oozing elegance and stateliness thanks to Hornsby's gorgeously executed piano tinkering as well as Jerry's appropriately weathered voice. The jam is also hot. An underrated "Terrapin" that deserves a lot more votes.

Beautiful version. Brent's keyboards are great here.
Dark Star

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

There are definitely moments towards the end that remind me of Veneta. This is really an amazing "Dark Star," in the Top 5 among post-Brent versions.

Not the best ever, but up there. Chilling version.
