Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
Another great 1993 version to go with 6/11, 6/21, 8/22, 9/10. Jerry goes nutso.

Capital Centre
Another song that roared back to life in 1991. Bobby always nails this one.

From a great run of shows. Jerry kills the jam.

Oakland Coliseum Arena
The "Aiko" is here but not the "Woman Are Smarter"? Blasphemy.

Ramble On Rose

Richfield Coliseum
A very spunky, sharp and well played version with Jerry on fire. He owns this whole first set.

Althea
March 31, 1984
Marin County Civic Center
This is a terrific "Althea," and yes, there's an edge to it absent in other versions. 1984 in general has some dark undertones in several shows, this one included.
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden
Awesome, awesome "Dark Star." Maybe the last truly great one.
Jack Straw

Nassau Coliseum
Perfect performance. Everyone firing on all cylinders - lyrics nailed, modulation and transitions are smooth, and the finale is truly out of this world. The best for me.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium
Individually, I think I may have heard better "Franklin's Tower"'s, but this is by far the best I've heard of three-pack.
Victim Or The Crime
Oct. 26, 1989
Miami Arena
This is my favorite version, simply because this is where the turning point of when the show went from being merely 'solid' to one of the most notoriously eerie shows they've ever played.
