THICK Phil on this one.

Good Lovin'

Bob does a nice little tribute to Pigpen in this one.

He's Gone
Sept. 21, 1982
Madison Square Garden

Very powerful, percussive version. Sounds like they are about to go into a "Caution" jam at the end but it doesn't get there.

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
July 18, 1989
Alpine Valley

Amazed that anything from these shows hasn't been submitted yet. Top shelf version like everything else from AV '89.

Brokedown Palace
Oct. 3, 1994
Boston Garden

Jerry botches the lyrics but it's the last Boston Garden version, so that's significant. Nice solo, too.

Comments

Eyes Of The World
May 14, 1978
Providence Civic Center

This is an amazing "Eyes," deserves to be at least in the Top 20. Great length, tremendous jamming, whole band on point.
Wharf Rat
June 25, 1995
RFK Stadium

Unlike the sloppy and overhyped final "Dew" four days earlier in Albany, this is truly an all time, Top 5-10 rendition of "Wharf Rat." Not sure what happened between Giant Stadium and RFK, like two completely different people playing and singing the same song. Jerry's solo is excellent and his vocals are perfect for this song.
Hell in a Bucket
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

Surprised this one wasn't up yet! Listened to this whole show today and this is a great "Bucket," Jerry flexes some serious muscle. This is the best show of 1993, which is actually a pretty good year.
Loose Lucy
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

I'm not always a fan of this song, it feels too much like a throwaway, but this version is hot. Jerry's solo during the jam is blazing.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 2, 1977
Paramount Theatre

The best "Scarlet -> Fire" of 1977. Yes, I said it. Exceptionally tight, and Keith is transcendent on keys.
