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

Baltimore Civic Center

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.

The Other One
March 20, 1992
Copps Coliseum

This one's spooky.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 19, 1981
Sports Palace

The more I listen the more I'm convinced this has become an all timer for me. Jerry's last two solos in "Fire" epitomize 'incendiary.' Grab a hold of something, because my chair buckled during this one.
Far From Me

RFK Stadium

Brent works himself into an absolute lather here.
Cold Rain and Snow
Sept. 26, 1991
Boston Garden

This version is not sluggish at all. It's faster than some 1980s' version and has great work from all involved.
Jack Straw
Sept. 26, 1991
Boston Garden

Another great 1991 "Jack Straw."
