Ramble On Rose
Aug. 6, 1989
Cal Expo

1989 was a banner year for this song. Brent is on fire and Jerry is, well, Jerry. Killer version.

The Wheel

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

The symbolism of playing this one at Keith & Donna's last show makes this one significant. Great version.

Really strong version. Jerry's vocals are particularly sharp and playful here. Bobby and Brent deliver big here.

Little Red Rooster

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

I'm not big on post-Brent versions of this song: his 'henhouse' verse made it for me. But this is a monster: Jerry just tears it a new asshole. One of the highlights of one of the best shows of 1991.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Shit, this version is hot, and I'm normally not a "Sailor -> Saint" fan. Bob's vocals are so animated here.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 23, 1995
Charlotte Coliseum

Another one whose ranking confuses me. Every 1991 version with Bruce outranks this one. How 9/4/1991 or even 10/31/1991 have so few votes in comparison is strange.

Boston Garden

I used to not like this one because of the accordian, but there's so much soul in Jerry's delivery on this one.
Brokedown Palace
June 25, 1995
RFK Stadium

Heartbreaking. So much soul here.
