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!

Easily one of the best. High energy and A+ execution. A good version to quiet the naysayers!!
China Doll
Dec. 6, 1992
Knickerbocker Arena

Seriously this is a very beautiful, emotional China Doll. A must listen
Terrapin Station
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena

Wow how is this not ranked in the Top 5? Amazing Terrapin here.
The Other One
July 25, 1972
Paramount Theater

The jam passage in the middle of this make it truly unique, and one of the best pieces of improvisational jamming during one of their strongest years. With hints of what sounds like the Weather Report intro and GDTRFB, St. Stephen and even Samson...it’s an amazing thing.
Bird Song
June 2, 1995
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Total brain-fry meltdown! Amazing gem from an admittedly rough year.
