SHOCKED this one wasn't mentioned yet. Even with the crushing cut out in the SBDs, this version still stands at the top

Very hot, tight jam segment. Song has the best lyric ever written: "Let your life proceed by it's own design"

By all accounts, this is a rather goofy song, but i love this version. Entire show is spot on

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Tough that Bobby has technical issues during this Straw, but he leaves the boys to tear this version a new one. Jerry shreds this to pieces! Very, very nice.

This is very patient, poignant, and soulful. Jerry's vocals and playing are hauntingly on point. Very nice
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

JFK Stadium

Spun this one several times this weekend. Jerry's leads at the end of Scarlet are just incredible. He repeats a lick toward the end that sounds so vibrant, like a bell ringing. Coupled with a sick FOTM, this one has all-time status
