I would put this up against any other '88 performance. Rise and Fall Jam unleashed!

Marin County Veterans Auditorium

First show of '84. Absolutely insane LIG, and one of the fastest. Phil bombs, Brent synths.

Outstanding performance. Like a mix of CSNY and Sammy Hagar with the Dead.

The Eleven
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Not as good as Two from the Vault (8/24), but definitely a top Eleven. No Pigpen on organ, Bobby is a bit muffled in the mix, and the transitions are not as silky smooth, but the energy of this performance makes up for it.

Roscoe Maples Pavilion - Stanford University

Check out Bobby's playing throughout this show, especially here. Little mellow fills.
Playin' In The Band

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Insane transition into the final verse (catch the Phil buzz bomb).
I Need A Miracle

Winterland Arena

I judge my Miracles by how fucked up Jerry sounds in the backing vocals. This one wins.

Sphinx Theatre

Ohhh yeah. They were still lit as hell on the Gaza shows. Don't let anyone tell you different.
