Not as strong as later versions with Vince but Jerry takes a hot solo.

Vince's first FOTD is excellent. He sits back and adds some nice, subtle fills while Jerry's sharp, articulate riffs take center stage.

If we can post JGB performances, I feel compelled to post this motherfucker of a TLEO.

Vince's first at his second ever show. One of the best of the 1990s'.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 13, 1993
The Spectrum

Not sure why this one is so high. It's a solid version, but it's not mind blowingly creaitive or unique. A reliably workman like version.
Dark Star
Sept. 13, 1993
The Spectrum

For one of the 5 minute "Dark Star"'s that became the norm after 1992, this one is very enjoyable for what's there. Spacey, creepy version. The pre-Drums set at this show is pretty amazing.
Big Railroad Blues
June 21, 1980
West High Auditorium

Should be way higher. This version destroys.
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

"Playin'" was not performed at this show, it was played on the 28th.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 31, 1984
SF Civic

This one is truly a spectacular version. The end of "Fire" is like no other, dirty and emotional.
