Very slick work from Jerry here. One of the best post-Brent versions.

Great Hornsby version. Jerry plays the hell out of his axe here.

Get this St. Patrick's day off to an appropriately rowdy start. Even the accordion works here.

Really good version. This show has one of my favorite set lists and well executed.

Morning Dew
Dec. 27, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

The first 2/3's of this "Dew" are absolutely incredible: the drummers are possessed, Bobby and Brent are on fire, and Jerry's vocals are among the most soulful he's ever layed down on a "Dew," and his mid-song solo is scorching. Unfortunately, Jerry's guitar completely goes out during the final jam, rendering an otherwise spectacular version a crushing disappointment. All I can say is it's a fucking shame.

Giants Stadium

One of the top 5 shows of 1991 right here (1. 10/27 2. 9/10 3. 3/20 4. 6/17 5. 12/28).

Autzen Stadium

One of those "Dew"'s where the finale makes me feel like I'm holding on for dear life. Teeth clenching stuff.

Nassau Coliseum

So I know I'm four days late but I wanted to acknowledge the 25th anniversary of this miracle of a "Dew." Seriously, bump this fucker into the Top 5. Only 5/8/77, 5/22/77, 5/26/72 and 9/18/87 beat it.

I didn't really feel this one. Jerry sounds totally disinterested vocally, especially on "Scarlet," where he makes meat loaf out of some the lyrics ("tucked into her shoes"?). That said, the MIDI transition is really cool and Jerry does pull together some great solos during "Fire," so I guess it's a bit like 5/26/95 in that regard.
