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.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

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

Barnburner.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

One of the best "China Cat"'s I've ever heard. This deserves a shit ton of votes.
Playin' In The Band
July 29, 1988
Laguna Seca Recreation Area

This covers in 11 minutes what a lot of other versions take 15, 20, or 30 (or 46) to do so. Tight, compact version with sick work from everyone. Phil kills it here.
The Music Never Stopped
June 25, 1992
Soldier Field

Sick version; Vince does some of his best ever work in the jam.
Cassidy
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

This is a full band effort that leaps out of the gate and builds to a great conclusion. Flawlessly lands into possibly the best ever "Might as Well."
