Strong middle jam and Jerry roars out the ending vocals.

Really good 1990s' "Beat It." Don't sleep on this show, it's on par with the previous night.

This version is fantastic.

Should have at least 10-15 more votes. Absolutely soaring version.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

"Scarlet" is solid enough, but they completely tear up "Fire." The interplay between Jerry and Bruce is fantastic, and Jerry's vocals on the finale are insane. And of course, the icing on the cake: a smooth as silk transition into the gorgeous "Stir It Up" jam. I need to give another listen to 9/4 to see which one I now consider the best Hornsby era version.

Barton Hall - Cornell University

The one song from Ithaca that is unquestionably deserving of the top spot for me.
Eyes Of The World

Giants Stadium

I love the tempo on this one; it strikes a happy medium between the faster, pre-3/25/90 versions and the slower versions that were the norm going forward. Steady, with no sluggishness at all, but not rushed, either. A perfectly measured performance.
