Doesn't seem to want to end - some vocal flubs from Bobby but excellent and energetic version

Ventura County Fairgrounds

Very hot and heady Other One out of space, leads into a great Dew

Eyes Of The World

Rainbow Theatre

Maybe not the most exploratory but it's clear the band is having fun - solid 80's version

Samson and Delilah
June 12, 1976
Music Hall

If I ever went to a show where Samson was the first set opener I'd lose my mind Face was properly stolen off my head after hearing this version. Drummers and Phil are on fire
Attics of My Life
Oct. 3, 1994
Boston Garden

Please give this a listen - truly a shining star in an era many people (myself included) ignore
Dire Wolf
Oct. 3, 1994
Boston Garden

Really strong version for this late in Jerry's career. Vocals and playing are on point. This is one of many highlighs of a late era show that is just excellent
The Music Never Stopped
March 13, 1985
Berkeley Community Theatre

This needs MORE votes - the ending jam is one of the best 80's TMNS moments I've heard. Knocked my socks off for sure
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 18, 1988
Madison Square Garden

Wonderful Scarlet preceeding the great FOTM as has already been pointed out. A short transition jam but nothing to scoff at. A show that was surely better in person but not to be missed!
