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....

Shoreline Amphitheatre

I Will Take You Home is not listed anywhere here and that needs to be fixed. This is a beautiful Peter, coming out of a shred-fest of a Watchtower…. But….. Brent’s gorgeous, heartbreaking ballad is what gets this sequence rolling, with some subtle and profound MIDI work from Jerry. I completely forgot I Will Take You Home was nowhere to be found here. Out of respect for Brent and the band, we should be able vote on our favorites….. It was often the pivot of some very fine shows!!
