12/6/92 was the date. Why is this not submitted? Did I miss it? A must listen from an amzing 1st set.

This is just ridiculous in terms of energy. Holy cow- the drums from Bill and Mickey! Phil bombs! Its got it all. Best part is the AUD recording where you just hear the crowd erupt at each peak- and there are like 4 peaks in there. Would have loved to seen this show just for the J Straw.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

I agree that this is NOT the best show of the year. The show is great, the Cumberland is good, but top 10? no. There are better. Think this one is solid. Don't get all the hype.

Overrated here. Some great solo on FOTM, but not up this high. 10/14/94 was much more interesting and fun a version.

Def should be higher. Great ever evolving version with Phil picking it up midway through. One of my top 5.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

The next best is not that close. This is the best jam>sunshine daydream. Amazing all around. The show itself was pedestrian. Not sure how they pulled this off.
