It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Nov. 2, 1985
Richmond Coliseum

One of the most powerful, heartwrenching vocal deliveries you'll ever hear from the man. My favorite version bar none.

Playin' In The Band
July 7, 1984
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

1984 outer space at it's best. Jerry's licks sound 10 years earlier. This one is a beast.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
March 19, 1990
Civic Center

Without a doubt one of the punchiest of the '90s. How can this not be up here!?!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith

One of the best of the '90s and a personal Top 5. One of the best transition jams ever.

Rosemont Horizon

This Corrina > MLB Jam before Space is one of my favorite pieces of music from Spring '93. Weir "Iron Man"s the intro too.

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!
