Surprised this isn't here. Tight, clean version with beautiful tones and harmonies. Serene version before that blazing Fantasy.

I really dig Hornsby era performances of this classic tune.

Fantastic "Peter" with a great outro where Jerry really lets 'er rip.

One of the best post-Brent versions of "Stella Blue." Soaring, transcendent outro solo. Power Jerry.

Jerry's piling on the soul and plays a very nice solo.

This is an outstanding latter day "Cumberland" and should have more votes. The band is super locked in here.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Incredible version. This whole show is as good as any they ever played. Even Vince was better than he'd ever be at this one.

MONSTER version.

Listened to this one last night. It started off rough, but Jerry pulls it together by the end and the climax is worth it, though it ends a bit abruptly. It's got nothing on 3/27/94 as far as late era Dews go.

This is the best version because it's the only version where someone other than Phil seems to be fully invested in it. God Bless Hornsby, he pulled the band out of a ton of quagmires.
