Great guitar work highlights this version, Jerry is dialed in from the get-go. Great show.

Posted the wrong date before; anyway, this is a scorcher.

Don't sleep on this one - super dark and intense version.

Great version that gets really spooky towards the end. Very nice exploratory passages with Jerry, Brent and the Devils especially shining.

An utterly whacked out version. Healy's vocal effects are just plain weird.

Comes A Time

Knickerbocker Arena

Jerry's weathered voice is great here, but his solos, oh man the solos, killer emotional stuff.

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.

Deer Creek Music Center

What are your top two? 3/20 and 12/16?
Eyes Of The World

Maybe the best post-Hornsby version. Relaxed groove, beautiful work from Jerry.

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.
