Wicked jamming from Jerry.

Novelty of being done at MSG aside, this is a great version. Jerry reals get after it in the last minute or so.

Perfect cherry on top of a blistering first set. Vince is on fire.

Really happy I get to submit this awesome version. Jerry is brilliant on it, his fills and his solos come right out of 1974.

Flawless and energetic version. Jerry doesn't a miss a lyric or a change. Perfect start to an epic show.

Sugaree
Sept. 8, 1990
Coliseum

These shows in Ohio and at the Spectrum in Philly get overlooked because of Bruce joining them at Madison Square Garden. Big mistake. This show is especially excellent. The pre-Drums in Set 2 gets all the attention but they attack the first set as well. With Vince still learning the ropes and holding back a bit, Jerry, Bobby and Phil were all extra focused.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Winterland Arena

RE: cgarces' comment about this being a 'greatest hits' show, had they cut the cowboy tunes, "FTHOM," and the covers aside from "NFA" and "GL" and found room for any combo of "Dew," "Playin'," "China -> Rider," "Sugaree," "Estimated," "Jack Straw," "Truckin'," "Bird Song," "Ripple," "He's Gone," or "Shakedown," yes, it would be the most insanely perfect Dead show of all time.

I forgot how much I love Jerry's tone on this one; just so sharp and articulate.
Friend of the Devil
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Unless I'm missing something from early 1979, Keith's solo here is his last great moment of complete lucidity as he was well into his decline by this point.
I Need A Miracle

Winterland Arena

Without question, the best one.
