This is when I thought the show locked in.

Reno Centennial Coliseum

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Cassell Coliseum - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

The Spectrum

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

Standing On The Moon
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Loved it, but wished Jerry could have taken more extended lines and played with Branford more.
Dark Star

Madison Square Garden

Great version, stellar musicians.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

One of the most musically interesting things I've ever heard them do. It is wonderful to see what they can do with incredible musicians.
El Paso
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

No worries, djchall, I wasn't being sarcastic. It's Prankster Dead at its finest, and it's why that transition is all time.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

Obviously a contender for a top spot, but I give it my vote because of how Winterland sounds here, and how they sound in it.
