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
Feb. 27, 1990
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

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)

Also: it is often an egregious Jerry flub that leads to these types of anomaly versions of gold. He knows he fucked up, and he is determined to make you forget it, and you know what? He wins!

Phil bombs are fun, absolutely, and for that this show needs to be heard. After that check out the 4-6-87 Jack Straw if you want pure rabid Easy Coast manic energy Dead.

This version continues to give and give....To comment on the comments: make the time to listen, you came here for the best! So often on this site my favorites are the 5th or 6th ranked....so if you are reading this, go listen. It's that good.

Stupidly good version, from an epic show..the LLR is a must as well.
