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.

Barnburner.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

One of the best "China Cat"'s I've ever heard. This deserves a shit ton of votes.
Playin' In The Band
July 29, 1988
Laguna Seca Recreation Area

This covers in 11 minutes what a lot of other versions take 15, 20, or 30 (or 46) to do so. Tight, compact version with sick work from everyone. Phil kills it here.
The Music Never Stopped
June 25, 1992
Soldier Field

Sick version; Vince does some of his best ever work in the jam.
Cassidy
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

This is a full band effort that leaps out of the gate and builds to a great conclusion. Flawlessly lands into possibly the best ever "Might as Well."
