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.

Comes A Time

Jerry's weathered voice is great here, but his solos, oh man the solos, killer emotional stuff.

Madison Square Garden

Completely epic version. Except for 12/16/94, I enjoy this even more than the ones with Branford. They let Murray do a lot more and he takes charge during the jam.
Wang Dang Doodle

Deer Creek Music Center

What are your top two? 3/20 and 12/16?
Eyes Of The World
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

Maybe the best post-Hornsby version. Relaxed groove, beautiful work from Jerry.
He's Gone

Madison Square Garden

Still my go-to version. They are absolutely singing this for Brent. No other version has such an emotional pull for me. A perfect version.
