@TheBusCameBy and others -- you can vote for 3/18/91 songs at the following link: http://headyversion.com/show/2079/grateful-dead/1991-03-18/ There's a bug on this site that makes it difficult to find a lot of submissions when scrolling through the song pages. It sometimes takes some patience to land on a show page.

Olympiahalle

This is one of the fastest Dead performances, of any song, I've ever heard -- and it never falls apart! It might be uncomfortably fast for some, but man, this just zips.
