Lovely version from an underrated show. Nice harmonies from Brent especially and Jerry's solos sparkle.

How is this not here? Smooth, emotive version with a soaring solo from Jerry. Bruce buttresses it beautifully. Top version.

Truckin'
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Get the audience tape for this one and go to straight to "Truckin'." The sound is in your face and punchy and the crowd is absolutely wild. Bonkers "Truckin'." This whole show is fucking incredible.
The Weight
July 23, 1990
World Music Theatre

It's stuff like that verse being Brent's last vocal and Jerry's last lead vocal being "Black Muddy River" that make me believe in the Dead's cosmic synergy.
Foolish Heart
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center

The last truly great Dead show. Jerry is focused, committed, alert, creative. This is a monster "Foolish Heart."

West High Auditorium

Love this version, very bright and relaxed with nice playing from Brent and a solid vocal from Jerry.
Samson and Delilah
June 21, 1980
West High Auditorium

EPIC VERSION ALERT! Bustles along brilliantly.
