A rockin' reprise out of a haunting "China Doll."

I...can't believe I'm submitting this...but Jerry lays down a very good solo worth hearing once.

Torched rendition. 5/26 gets all the attention but 5/27 is pretty fucking excellent as well.

Jerry modifies the intro and delivers a riveting solo later on.

Morning Dew

Nassau Coliseum

One word: dynamics, something sorely lacking in a lot of late day Dead. Every subtle nuance, every modulation, every bit of pathos is nailed here. Nothing is left to chance, the band hits the bullseye. Jerry's voice is so good in the beginning, especially when he goes for a softer tone. Perfect performance. The 25th anniversary will be here before we know it, so rev up those upvotes.

The drummers are really so on this whole show.

This version really cooks. Bob has fire in the belly and Jerry is possessed.

Such a tight, clean show. One of the best ever!
