One of the best Bobby versions. They tear this one up. Bobby's possessed. Jerry's on.

Bobby was on his game with the blues numbers in summer '85.

Killer run of "Stranger" -> "Eyes" -> "GDTRFB" -> "MSWS." What a great run at the end of June.

Sweet bustout at Keith and Donna's last show. Jerry's solo is great.

Fast, a bit sloppy, but Jerry's having a great time here.

Sugaree

Frost Amphitheatre

That Jerry...how did he do it? The melodies and phrases he just seemed to pull out of the air. Ethereal "Sugaree," surging with drama and melancholy, from one of the best shows they ever played.

Jerry is unstoppable.
Truckin'
Sept. 20, 1991
Boston Garden

The long outro jam in this version is fantastic. Very rare for them to go the distance on "Truckin'" like they do here.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

This one deserves attention. The transition is outstanding. Explorative and melodic.

As good a version as they've ever played of the slow arrangement. Jerry's playing is soulful, soothing and articulate. One of the highlights at the last truly great Dead show.
