Could be longer, but what's here is spooky and fantastic. Great peak.

Dean Smith Center - University of North Carolina

1992-93 was a very strong period for "Terrapin," and this version is no exception.

Jerry floods this "Big River" with some tasty licks.

The Pyramid

Off the charts good. Especially from 1995. Those Memphis shows were exellent.
Foolish Heart
June 22, 1991
Soldier Field

A rich, chugging "Foolish Heart." I've been loving on this song lately, and this is one of the best. Great swell in the middle and Jerry's pushes the outro to new heights.
Playin' In The Band
March 27, 1985
Nassau Coliseum

The ending is like getting sucked into a black hole, with Brent adding some weird keyboard noises that make me think of a lost ship scrambling to make contact with Earth. Really one of the most complete, atmospheric jams on this song I've ever heard.
Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 31, 1980
Radio City Music Hall

This is the best stand-alone "Fire," easily. Jerry's guitar is like a laser cutting through glass. Sharp, precise, slicing.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Sports Palace

Absolutely stunning "Fire" here...around 6:00 all hell breaks loose.
