Part of a "rain" set, this version has great energy and features Phil dropping a stadium-vibrating bomb.

Sweet and soulful, it cleared the storm clouds and was accompanied by a double rainbow.

A little rushed at the beginning, but what a climax! Excellent.

This long set-opening version was played as a battle raged between heads trying to storm the (reserved) floor and venue security. This was my first show and I was stunned, both by how long it was and what I was witnessing.
Standing On The Moon

Boston Garden

A video of this show is posted on YouTube. A version worthy of the walk-off. Great emotion.

Nassau Coliseum

So patient, the entire band is in sync and the climax is just perfect. Jerry's vocals are late-era emotional. Really unbelievable, especially given the era.
