Rip roaring start to this Top 5 show of 1994.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

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

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.

Saint of Circumstance

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Thunderous. One of the best stand-alone's I've ever heard.
Eyes Of The World

The Zenith

"Eyes" was not done on this date, it's the show from the "30 Trips" box.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Yet 7/17 was just as good as the next two, go figure. Really shows that even at their best they could be pretty unpredictable.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

This is an absolute train wreck of a performance from start to finish. This whole show is shockingly low quality for a year that contends to be their best, and this "Saint" is the nadir: tragically low energy, hilariously off vocal from Bobby, and the whole band sounds like they have no idea what they're doing, really. Brent was especially off this show. Unique and exciting looking set list but they execute this one poorly.
Truckin'

Raceway Park

Had no idea they didn't play this one for nearly two years (I always assumed this was one of those songs that never, ever fell out of rotation), but that makes it all the more special.
