There's a reason this is on the 'Spring 1990 So Glad You Made It' compilation release.

Not exploratory but incredibly well-played. This whole show should be officially released.

Yup, tight and tender. Great version! Maybe the best represented thing from this show (save for the oddball stuff only played around this time).
Eyes Of The World

Dillon Stadium

This could very well be THE definitive Phil version of this song.
Uncle John's Band

Short and sweet. Dave's Picks 2.
Truckin'

Dillon Stadium

Yup, good jam at the end (is it even Truckin' at that point) just before a Mind Left Body. And Jerry seems to execute his ideas really well within the song proper. Dave's Picks 2.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Olympia Theater

Like many folks, this is the first version I ever heard and it was love at first listen.
