Nothing out of the ordinary, just a rock solid version coming out of Space towards the end of a terrific set. Great Jerry licks.

Excellent D/S that capitalizes on the weirdness of the preceding "Uncle John's Band" meltdown.

1994 gave us some great versions of this song. This one from the lauded MSG run is no exception.

Bright, peppy version from one the two or three truly great 1986 shows.

Just a solid well played version in a thoroughly enjoyable set. Jerry's on his game for this one.

And We Bid You Goodnight
Sept. 26, 1991
Boston Garden

Seriously love this one so much. 1991 was really the last full-on great year and while these weren't the last shows of the year this Boston show and especially this bust-out final version of And We Bid You Goodnight has an air of finality to it that's so haunting and bittersweet. The next shows were the Oakland ones after Graham died and the vibe was fundamentally darker.

Imagine those who were there on the 24th hearing this and thinking they were just gonna do the second verse to complete the previous one, and instead got a brand new, full length DS. This is a massive version that could use more love. Only 9/20/90 and 4/1/91 beat it for the Hornsby era.

Gotta agree with Donnie here - they sound like a fucking wedding band on this one. Well played, but the timbre of the jam is pure schlock.
Good Lovin'
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

Really would like to see this spicy "Good Lovin'" get some good lovin' from the folks here. May 26 on home turf, always a good time for the Dead.
Satisfaction

Frost Amphitheatre

Best "LLR," best "Sailor -> Saint," best "Cassidy," best "Throwing Stones," a blazing "Sugar Magnolia," and the best "Satisfaction." Bobby was indeed the star this night. Great show.
