Easy song to overlook (I had no idea I forgot to submit it as I love this show), but this is a good one.

Surprised not to see this one; killer start to one of the year's best shows.

I often think of this one as a throwaway, but this version flat out kicks ass. Great solo from Jerry. These shows at MSG smoked.

Great version from one the best 1993 shows. Jerry's vocals are excellent and the outro jam smokes.

Hell in a Bucket

Soldier Field

This should be higher as well. The whole band absolutely attacks the song. It has a punch few others do.

Soldier Field

MASSIVE jam here. Jerry and Bruce destroy this one. Top 5.
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

This should have 100+ votes. It's an absolutely massive version. So quiet and pretty most of the time than just frightens the shit out of you unrelentingly. Incredible version; Billy is on fire here.
They Love Each Other

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Love this version a lot. Jerry's on fire every second of the first set.

Madison Square Garden

One of the very best post-Brent performances of any song. Jerry is as good as he's ever been here.
