Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
Easy song to overlook (I had no idea I forgot to submit it as I love this show), but this is a good one.

Surprised not to see this one; killer start to one of the year's best shows.

Beat it on Down The Line

Madison Square Garden
I often think of this one as a throwaway, but this version flat out kicks ass. Great solo from Jerry. These shows at MSG smoked.

Buckeye Lake Music Center
Great version from one the best 1993 shows. Jerry's vocals are excellent and the outro jam smokes.

Morning Dew

Augusta Civic Center
I think my head exploded the first time I listened to this one. It's almost not human how intense this bad boy is.
She Belongs To Me
Nov. 1, 1985
Richmond Coliseum
One of the absolute highlights of Jerry's entire output as a guitarist. I teared up at just how beautiful this version is.
El Paso
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden
This is my favorite "El Paso." Bob's acoustic guitar adds a very appropriate touch, and the way Jerry and Phil decorate it is fantastic.

The Palace
Fantastic late day "Bertha." They're really on fire for this one.
Wang Dang Doodle
July 2, 1989
Sullivan Stadium
This version should be at the top. It's unusually spooky and driven, compared to the more relaxed versions that followed.
