Walking Blues

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Excellent Walkin' Blues from the Dueling Keyboard era - an exemplar of '91

Brokedown Palace
March 19, 1995
The Spectrum

Encore at show that premiered Unbroken Chain live. A warm, coherent, and emotional Brokedown in an era of mediocrity. RIP Jerry

Samson and Delilah
March 28, 1989
The Omni

Solid Set Opener, not as intense as later versions in the year but excellent nonetheless

Not Fade Away
Dec. 6, 1981
Rosemont Horizon

Out of a spectacular space comes this masterpiece, chock full of jamming - descends into a great Wharf Rat

Excellent Wharf with mighty fine jamming, leads into an unconventional Watchtower set closer

Eyes Of The World
Feb. 21, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

As the previous comment said, just a really fun show. Whole show is to die for and I can't imagine how fun it was to see a post space Eyes
Eyes Of The World

Zenith

Victim>Eyes is an underappreciated combo, executed well this night
The Music Never Stopped
Jan. 10, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This is the first version when I truly understood why it's called The Music Never Stopped
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 21, 1991
Boston Garden

Nice Hornsby jam at the end
Playin' In The Band
March 31, 1991
Greensboro Coliseum

On the heels of a tremendous Eyes - I bet if this was included with the rest of the bonus on Dick's Picks 17 it would be *much* higher on this list
