Civic Center

Jerry in full guitar hero mode, and he can barely keep up with himself. They played FAST in '80.

Rosemont Horizon

Slow build but the outtro solo is worth it. Jerry shreds it to pieces. Amazing. Make sure you get the Matrix - it's a VAST improvement.

Boston Garden

No solo, but lots of beautiful little nuances hiding in the verses. Standout performance by every supporting member.

Yep. This is it. I love a lot of the versions posted here, but this one is head and shoulders above the rest.

Stands up to its 70s brethren.

For me, this just barely edges out 6/9/1977.

The Mosque

This is the first time this song ever really stood out to me.
