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.

Eyes Of The World
June 11, 1993
Buckeye Lake Music Center

I actually thought this was an excellent "Eyes." Not as long as previous versions but very tight with Jerry and Phil especially on the money. There are very few versions of the song I go to post-Hornsby, but this is one of them.

I actually think the set is pretty solid if you forgive "Easy Answers." That could just be me having liberal standards, though.

This version starts on the moon and winds up in hell. Can't get enough of it.
Wave to the Wind

Dean Smith Center - University of North Carolina

You know, the beginning of this song sounds like Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill" a little bit, and you think it's gonna be somewhat interesting, than it morphs into the Love Boat theme.

Agreed with your points about 3/27/94 (which, by the way, is an all around really good show - "Deal" and "O1" are also fantastic, as is the 13 minute "Aiko Aiko). That one is Top 5 EVER, and I agree that it is on par with 1977 ones. These South Carolina shows are actually excellent.
