Out of tune and a bit of mess, but it's time this tune joins the list on the 50th anniversary of a masterpiece of a night!

Cool. Speaking of '94 Terrapins, Jerry forgets "Inspiration!" Or did he need to hear it from the crowd? Bittersweet....

Scorching.
He's Gone

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

One of the best. Coda chant with the crowd will send chills. Less than a week after dedicating it to Bobby Sands this one goes out to Bob Marley. A different sort of version, just as powerful, with a different sort of jam into drumz. Wild and mellow. Very cool sorta Miracle-Other-Jam. Magnificent.

Yowza!!! 4 minutes in, the madness begins. It ends as Bob says this one's for Marley and they head into a powerful He's Gone.

After Bobby and Jerry trade sweet licks in a hot Rooster, the jamming builds in this smoking China-Rider.
