Rip roaring start to this Top 5 show of 1994.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 31, 1992
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
Sept. 11, 1982
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.

Touch of Grey
March 27, 1987
Civic Center

This is not the first version post-coma, or even the first one of 1987. But there's something about this performance that puts definitive punctuation as to whether or not Jerry was truly back.
West L.A. Fadeaway
March 27, 1987
Civic Center

This needs to be at the top, I will absolutely put it up against 7/19/89 and 3/22/90. Just an absolutely ferocious version.
Alabama Getaway
March 27, 1987
Civic Center

I still can't believe this and several other versions from this show are down as low as they are. This charges along with that 'new lease on life' energy Jerry had and doesn't let up.
Brokedown Palace
June 21, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

I'm very surprised this one is as low as it is. Sung with great feeling, Clarence's sax is a surprisingly effective touch.
Turn On Your Love Light
June 21, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Wouldn't be a sax show without "Lovelight"!
