I was there. Jerry's solo was comparable to his 1977 Morning Dew at Cornell (I was there too, about forty feet back from the stage). Many heads consider this to be the finest Standing ever performed and I agree.
Definitely possible. :) Apparently the band had some external (then, internal) influences guiding them that weekend that they hadn't had in a while... ;)
I never really "got it" until the next show though. Spent all Saturday looking for this outta-my-league girl I was supposed to meetup with behind the soundboard. Pre-cellphone era I couldn't find her. Randomly saw her on Sunday between the sets, hung out with her for 2nd set. Sun coming out and the opener of the "The Wheel" was magical.
These 2 shows were easily the best post 7-90 GD IMO... Both the performances and the scene (sans the incident you describe below and probably a few others)... Other shows had great moments/songs but no full shows compared to these...... That Bird Song took me back in time!
2 of the best shows I ever been to . beautiful weather and top notch playing. so many highlights like this, JS, Help>slip>franklins, broken arrow, 2nd night drumspace was unreal too. Indigo Girls opened but still in the lot at that point melting paper.
I didn't, unfortunately. I'm from Seattle, so I headed back north for home after the weekend was over. The pic for the video is one I actually took that weekend though. We had also seen JGB in Seattle a few weeks earlier. :)
We flew out from Chicago for these shows... and a little R&R. We had to switch planes at SFO and hop on a jumper flight up to Eugene. Well, much to my surprise as we walk onto the plane, there sits Huey. I say "hey Huey, what's happening?" He gave me a look of 'please don't murder me' to something maybe more like, 'shut the fuck up.' So I did, but was wondering why he thought so much of himself, as I started thinking, maybe he has discovered a new drug? Anywho, as we get our luggage and proceed to the car rental, who's the only one standing there, It's Huey again. At this point I just minded my own bee's wax. We figured out why he was so 'keeping to himself' when he came out and started blowing harp on "Schoolgirl." I couldn't help but chuckle.
Ranking the versions of SOTM is so subjective. If you go by the outro solo then sure it’s an all timer but there are versions where he sings it beautifully without flubbing lines. Regardless, I come back to this one for the outro “Be with you … Love this tune

Undisputed champion of this song
I was at this show, and this is the song everyone was talking about afterward. It was certainly the best "Standing On The Moon" I ever witnessed.
I was there! Hell yeah!
This being in Eugene, I can’t help but think his emotion filled closure is him speaking to Mountain Girl.
Definitely possible. :) Apparently the band had some external (then, internal) influences guiding them that weekend that they hadn't had in a while... ;)
I thought Kesey was always on speed dial
Apparently Jerry hadn't called him in quite a while until that weekend. :)
wow. number one on Heady Version............and i was THERE.
THAT'S a first
This was my first show and it was during this song that I thought "Oh...something is going on here!"
And, amazingly enough, something WAS going on there! :)

oh, you mean.......25 years ago today!
BE WITH YOU.....BE WITH YOU........I'D RATHER BE WITH YOU.........MISS YOU CAPTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow what a great version !,, I thought Boston Gardens June 1993 was a fav but this is just as awesome !!
Holy stars… my heart.
great version, great show
I WAS THERE!!!!
Wow this does sound great. Sorry I never made it to Eugene show. They were legend.
The Dead brought me to Eugene. The country Fair kept me coming back for YEARS!
I was there on the moon too, what a great run

I actually liked the Indigo Girls' performances. The Dead were off the hook tho, and, melting paper??
I liked them too,I was still in the lot tho'. melting paper = acid paper on tongue. thanks for the vid and memories.
You're welcome, of course. I kinda thought that's what that meant. I was doing the same thing, to be honest. :)
did you go to Shoreline after?
I didn't, unfortunately. I'm from Seattle, so I headed back north for home after the weekend was over. The pic for the video is one I actually took that weekend though. We had also seen JGB in Seattle a few weeks earlier. :)

Love this tune
Whoa. So powerful!
Epic solo... holy shit!
Radio broadcast too so fun in Oregon
Wow. This is incredible!
I agree. :)
Best ever..lmao you guys!!
Standing on the Dew
I was there...That was the very best version of Standing on the Moon Jerry ever played
Wickey Jonathan I come back to this one over and over again. My absolute favorite.
I think you are correct. I have goosebumps after the first chorus. I love this song
Omfg Jer
Awesome performance. Anybody have suggestions on where to find a recording with clean audio?
Jesus what show is this and how can I get a clean version of it
JERRY
Oh shit I took acid that day and went to front to see Jerry!
You and half the crowd... ;)
Indeed, it was so beautiful.
It was easy to get close to the sides of the front of the stage that day!
Broken string on the debut of the bolt !!!! Was epic
