Madison Square Garden

Great version featuring heads up Garcia playing, and some classic late 80's Bobby vocals (with just the right amount of DH weirdness)

Feel Like A Stranger

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Funky Phil to start, with a Jerry midi finish that I just love (silky silky, crazy crazy night)

Victim Or The Crime

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

This version slips into full blown space at one point, unique version of a under rated song

Hey Pocky Way

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Great version with plenty of Jerry/ Brent goodness (not a fan of the song? This one may change that)

Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium

Brent blows a few lyrics early on, but he and Jerry more than make up for it in this hometown performance (makes no difference who or where you are)

still remember this version, I was in "peak form" and this was perfect....but I am a sucker for the Brent versions!

PS: it was the second set opener, not show opener....I'm a stickler for details.

No PM system...ok, since they gave the song away for free I see no problem with this link: hxxp://www.mediafire.com/?1b239427kisvq96 You know what to do with the xx's in the address. I think having this high quality version of the song will help with you appreciating the true epicness of this version.

This version almost singlehandedly won my wife over, and caused her to appreciate the 80's Dead at a whole new level. The Brent/ Jerry interplay is stupidly great. This song was recently released during the month of downloads on Dead.net...dig around, if you can't find it, PM me...

I like this one a lot...a lot a lot, maybe only topped by 3-30-87? Check it!
