Awesome version with Bobby all but blowing his voice out on the screams. On 30 Days of Dead sandwiched between Shakedown and Eyes.

Drums -> Space

Starlight Theatre

I can't believe I'm the first to submit this. Such a killer segment, especially "Space" with its incredible Spanish jam that's one of the best.

Smoking version. Killer Brent vocals. Jerry nails the solo.

Big Railroad Blues
Feb. 17, 1979
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

One of the few songs Keith wakes up for during this show, sadly.
Its All Over Now
Nov. 8, 1979
Capitol Center

It's a shame that the soundboard of this show is littered with problems. It only includes the last instrumental break and Bobby's reprise of the final verse, but it's wholly worth it regardless. Jerry is playing with relish and Bobby goes absolutely batshit as he sings the finale.
Brown Eyed Women
Oct. 26, 1989
Miami Arena

Jerry's broken voice adds so much to this one. Maybe it's just the show's overall reputation, but there's darkness even in this "BEW" (as opposed to the usual wistful melancholy that is the heart of the song).
Dark Star
June 22, 1991
Soldier Field

Indeed! This one could just as well be counted as a legit instrumental "Dark Star" as opposed to just a jam. At nearly eight minutes, it's a fleshed out meditation on the song's main theme. It's not just a tease, the song's melody is all there.
Terrapin Station

Soldier Field

Around 15 or 16 minutes in, Vince seems to jump in on the "Dark Star" teases.
