Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

A "Scarlet -> Fire" not listed? Color me shocked. This one's a good one from the last of three really great nights in Vegas. Jerry's dialed in.

They Love Each Other

West Palm Beach Auditorium

Surprised this isn't up; this whole show is quite hot and has a very unique, calypso sort of vibe. This TLEO is a great example of that. Check it out.

Earth shaker! Great middle jam, enthusiastic vocals from Bobby, this one is a gem.

Hell in a Bucket
June 22, 1991
Soldier Field

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

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
June 20, 1983
Merriweather Post Pavilion

Love this version a lot. Jerry's on fire every second of the first set.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden

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