Gut-wrenching singing, a ripping solo and a great audience - on a back porch in July...

Resplendent with focused, inventive solos

Brown Eyed Women

Oakland Auditorium

Also shocked this is low on the list. It's one of my favorite concise Jerry solos. Tells a forlorn story start to finish with absolutely crisp playing. And the Big River that precedes it is a fiery version that channels Clarence White.

Raceway Park

I'm glad we're all in agreement. I've never heard one I didn't like, but this one always thrills me the most. And aside from dynamics, what a great, American song. Hunter was in fine form during the Wake of the Flood era.

Oklahoma City Music Hall

Yep, this is my new favorite since its inclusion in DaP11. Simultaneously focused and mind-blowingly out-there.

Rich Stadium

Impossible to pick one Row Jimmy, but this one is way up there. The Truckin' Up To Buffalo sound quality doesn't hurt either.
