The Palladium

Great version from a criminally overlooked show.
Cold Rain and Snow
Oct. 12, 1983
Madison Square Garden

Nasty freezing rain made getting into the city pure hell that night.Opening up what turned out to be perhaps the best show of the year with this smoking rain and snow turned it all to sunshine.
Jack Straw

Barton Hall - Cornell University

I'm not crazy about the whole Barton Hall thing but this Jack Straw is downright profound,even after countless hearings I still get chills.
St. Stephen
April 23, 1969
The Ark

How the hell did anyone even vote for any post71 versions of this song?
Not Fade Away
Sept. 19, 1970
Fillmore East

I was at the englishtown show that tops the list but this version is just more interesting
