Hah I can't disagree; sometimes I see an old Winterland show on youtube and wish I was 20 years older and had been able to see shows in that time! My first shows were in the 87 tour, I was 12, so my opinion is skewed a bit by these times. The old lineup was rockin, for sure though the 91 lineup was the most musically competent they ever were... and it was downhill from there 
The tune you posted, the line "spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the Hill," is a special one for me. My school was called The Hill School, and when I went on tour full time after school, starting in that 91 tour, every once in a while I'd be in the lot or in the show, and hear someone nearby shout that line along with Jerry, extra loud, and I'd look over. It was either someone I knew, or an old timer, and I'd go chat them up, and it turned out we were fellow alumni! Universe is so so huge but so so small
Enjoy this'n... my older sister and her pal were going to California for touring universities, and my girlfriend at the time (my wife today!) and I wanted so so badly to go along. She hadn't told us she was "really" going to see this show. We had saved some money from working on farm, and secretly bought plane tickets to go along with her. Of course back then it was much much different flying and such before 9-11. So us 4 minors somehow were allowed to fly across the country no question asked, again today I doubt that's allowed? But we spent the previous day before this show at Disney (which all 4 of us hated and we never went back!), and then this show. Any show with shorty short Bobby is a gem of course, but Terrapin has a special place even now for my wife and I, we laid out at the edge of the crowd, completely inside our first trips, kissing like how you'd peck your granny or something. It was amazing and sometimes we play this when we're really stoned and kiss just like this!

What’s interesting is I’m about older older brother age compared to you but of the same general era and like you I was heavily into punk rock/ new music/ alternative of the time but also maintained a solid love for the Dead & other 60’s/70’s rock which was a taboo with the people who I played the punk with. I’d go to the punk clubs with one circle of friends but have to enjoy Dead shows with a different group of friends & never the twain did meet. My hockey hair played better at the dead shows.
The clip I posted was shot at a warm personal spot, Winnipeg, a dump of a city but the mountain top of my first career
