Easy song to overlook (I had no idea I forgot to submit it as I love this show), but this is a good one.

Surprised not to see this one; killer start to one of the year's best shows.

I often think of this one as a throwaway, but this version flat out kicks ass. Great solo from Jerry. These shows at MSG smoked.

Great version from one the best 1993 shows. Jerry's vocals are excellent and the outro jam smokes.

Sugaree
Oct. 10, 1982
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
Sept. 20, 1982
Madison Square Garden

This one deserves attention. The transition is outstanding. Explorative and melodic.
Friend of the Devil
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center

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.
