Standing On The Moon
Dec. 30, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Passionate vocals and Jerry torches the solo something righteous.

The Music Never Stopped
Dec. 30, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Swirling, dreamlike version to end a great 1st set.

When I Paint My Masterpiece

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Not a song I often acknowledge, but Bobby delivers a great vocal here. Good performance all around.

Throwaway song, but this version cooks.

The Other One
April 6, 1982
The Spectrum

Given how ridiculously short it is, this one packs a huge whallop; it is indeed quite nerve wracking, Jerry is furious here.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Epic version that doesn't quit. The Aiko -> Mona is 25 minutes of Bruce era Dead at its absolute best.

This really needs more love thrown its way. If it hadn't been posted only fairly recently it would probably get more love. One of their best post-Brent excursions.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 27, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This really is an awesome version. The transition is nice and long, they don't rush it and everyone's doing their part and succeeding. I forgot how thick Phil is on the soundboards from these shows.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1983
Hartford Civic Center

10/14 is a good date for history book quality "Scarlet -> Fire"'s. This one is swimming in precision, power, creativity and groove.
