Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 31, 1992
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

A "Scarlet -> Fire" not listed? Color me shocked. This one's a good one from the last of three really great nights in Vegas. Jerry's dialed in.

They Love Each Other
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Surprised this isn't up; this whole show is quite hot and has a very unique, calypso sort of vibe. This TLEO is a great example of that. Check it out.

Earth shaker! Great middle jam, enthusiastic vocals from Bobby, this one is a gem.

Comes A Time
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

Jerry's weathered voice is great here, but his solos, oh man the solos, killer emotional stuff.
Estimated Prophet
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden

Completely epic version. Except for 12/16/94, I enjoy this even more than the ones with Branford. They let Murray do a lot more and he takes charge during the jam.
Wang Dang Doodle
June 28, 1992
Deer Creek Music Center

What are your top two? 3/20 and 12/16?
Eyes Of The World
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

Maybe the best post-Hornsby version. Relaxed groove, beautiful work from Jerry.
He's Gone
Sept. 14, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Still my go-to version. They are absolutely singing this for Brent. No other version has such an emotional pull for me. A perfect version.
