Dick's Picks 13 version @ Nasau. Bob and Jerry both get hot.

New Speedway Boogie
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

The original, more concise versions of this were great, too - I've always loved that version on Festival Express, for one - but this one is nuclear. The transition in from "Truckin'" is riveting and then Speedway just rips the whole way through, with the keyboardists laying down some really cool stuff and Jerry responding in a big way.
Shakedown Street
Dec. 26, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Shameful that this funk bomb is more than 100 votes from the top.
Morning Dew
Oct. 18, 1972
Fox Theater

This is featured on the new excerpt-release from the Listen to the River set, Light Into Ashes - it's just the Playin>DS>MD>Playin sequence from this night. Hopefully between that and the set itself some more light gets shone on this incredible set, Morning Dew included.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

This one's a bonus on the Wake of the Flood remaster and it slays. I love how determined they are to hit a truly appropriate and blistering climax, and the various runs they take at it before they're satisfied.
Not Fade Away
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Probably the real highlight of Barton.
