I...can't believe I'm submitting this...but Jerry lays down a very good solo worth hearing once.

Torched rendition. 5/26 gets all the attention but 5/27 is pretty fucking excellent as well.

Frost Amphitheatre

Jerry modifies the intro and delivers a riveting solo later on.

Samba In The Rain
Oct. 18, 1994
Madison Square Garden

Why does it need to be a contest? "Samba," "Wave," "Shoe Fits," "Childhood's End," "Easy Answers," they are all shit.
The Wheel
Feb. 17, 1979
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

"The Wheel" was indeed turning and a new era of the band was about to begin.
Don't Ease Me In
Feb. 17, 1979
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

One of the most effective versions of a pretty limited song. The vocals are indeed quite nice.
Greatest Story Ever Told
Feb. 17, 1979
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

No nonsense version. You could tell they missed playing this one. Keith is even awake here. Jerry's playing like a madman. They ambush this one.
Man Smart, Woman Smarter

Show is wall to wall highlights and sounds like it could've came from the post-coma renaissance period of 1987-91 as opposed to the troubled pre-coma period. Great set list and the playing is absolutely spectacular throughout.
