How can the bust-out not be on this list! If you were there, you remember what happened. The freeking HOUSE came down!

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
April 5, 1989
Crisler Arena

In a sea of equals ('89 had many great versions) this one rises above ther rest for me. Playing UMs hoops arena while they win the NCAA. Karma!

The tail end of the best Touch > Greatest you'll ever hear from this band. This version is one long Jerry solo. And boy do they nail the mark!

The Spectrum

If you want a version where Jerry's voice is cracked with sorrow, loneliness, wisdom, and heart wrenching emotion...well here you go. Try not to cry.
Dark Star
July 7, 1969
Piedmont Park

Criminally underrated. One of my all time favorite Dark Stars
China Doll
Sept. 2, 1985
Zoo Amphitheater

This version is as good as any from the '80s. Jerry's ending solo is phenomenal! And his voice is haunting. What a powerful version.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
June 30, 1984
Indianapolis Sports and Music Center

This version has something special going on. Very Earthy and almost spacey, but with a ton of fire and grit! Summer '84 is so darn underrated.
Not Fade Away
April 23, 1977
Springfield Civic Center

One half of my favorite GDTRFB > NFA duo ever. What a killer groove they found here!
