Beat it on Down The Line
Oct. 3, 1994
Boston Garden

"Beat It" beat it after this one. Abrupt, sloppy lead-in but the song itself is tight and enthusiastic.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

I was shocked not to see this one from the famous PPV solstice broadcast.

Phil's all over this one. Really urgent upbeat version.

Coliseum

Great opener for Vince's second show. Jerry's solos are rippin' and Bob's possessed. Nice subtle work from Vinny.

Surprised this ain't here. Lyrically perfect (another Clive ad lib from Bobby) and Jerry kills the transition jam.

Good Lovin'
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

Wanted to bring more attention to this one; regardless of the year or era, this is one of Bob's very best "Good Lovin'"'s, from the last truly great show they ever played.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 3, 1982
The Scope

One of the best ever. Should be in the 40-50+ votes bracket. The transition is one of the most creative and intense I can think of.
Eyes Of The World
April 3, 1982
The Scope

Never heard an "Eyes" like this before. Like a totally different arrangement. And it's gorgeous.

Winterland Arena

Absolutely wild version that never lets up at any point. The mid-jam is indeed ferocious.
Sugaree
Dec. 29, 1977
Winterland Arena

The most intense, volcanic peak of any "Sugaree" known to man. Inhuman.
