One of the best Bobby versions. They tear this one up. Bobby's possessed. Jerry's on.

Bobby was on his game with the blues numbers in summer '85.

Killer run of "Stranger" -> "Eyes" -> "GDTRFB" -> "MSWS." What a great run at the end of June.

Sweet bustout at Keith and Donna's last show. Jerry's solo is great.

Fast, a bit sloppy, but Jerry's having a great time here.

A perfect version. Smooth as silk with great energy.

cgarces, would love to get your opinion on this one as well as 5/31/92. I know you are the biggest champion of 3/27/94 (and I agree that it's a Top 5 all timer), but I think these two are spectacular in their own right.

Always thought this version was a bit rushed (as I did "Jack Straw" and "Ramble On Rose").

Very fun, peppy latter day "Lovelight."

Jerry with that chicken grease funk during the jam....cool stuff. Generally speaking, I'm coming around to "Corrina." It's not a masterpiece, but it has a good groove and overall it's a good, if not great song. Compared to "Wave the Wind" or Vince's schlock, it's a damn-near masterpiece. It at least sounded unique enough to give the band credit for trying something new.
