Wow, the 1984-07-15 is a close one but this is still my all time favorite.

Hot upbeat version from an awesome show, excellant sound quality the boys were on that night and so was the sound crew.

Cumberland Blues
good version, can't believe it's wasn't already on here, check out Phil's bass lines from the beginning.

Estimated Prophet
Yes, 1986. Surprised myself, but this is just about Exactly Perfect, and only 2 weeks after Jerry's return. Segues right into a great Eyes.
