Sullivan Stadium

Surprised this isn't here. Tight, clean version with beautiful tones and harmonies. Serene version before that blazing Fantasy.

I really dig Hornsby era performances of this classic tune.

Fantastic "Peter" with a great outro where Jerry really lets 'er rip.

One of the best post-Brent versions of "Stella Blue." Soaring, transcendent outro solo. Power Jerry.

Jerry's piling on the soul and plays a very nice solo.

Dark Star
Jan. 10, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This is a great version and extremely underrated. Coming off Winterland, you can feel the energy of its return to the East Coast.
Touch of Grey
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Feels like an appropriate statement to end the first great run after Brent died.
Big Railroad Blues
June 25, 1985
Blossom Music Center

This version should be higher. It fucking smokes.
Eyes Of The World
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

One of my all time favorites. They were still knocking it out of the park in 1991.
Morning Dew
April 15, 1978
William and Mary College Hall

Top 10 "Dew." Unbelievable intensity, especially the drummers.
