Boston Music Hall

HOT NFA with Stepehn-ish jam around 6 min akin to the jam before the NFA on 7/28/82

Promised Land

Fox Theater

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

The Other One
June 13, 1987
Ventura County Fairgrounds

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

Eyes Of The World
March 21, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

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

Cold Rain and Snow

Downs of Santa Fe

First time Phil sings in a looong time - amazed why such a legendary CRS is so low on the list
Stella Blue
June 19, 1991
Pine Knob

Space>Stella is just so awesome
Turn On Your Love Light
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

A rare and killer Lovelight encore - 'Shine on meeee'
Terrapin Station
June 11, 1991
Charlotte Coliseum

Awesome jam after the main song, first with then without Jerry. Bobby teases the Playin' reprise right before they hit Drums
Victim Or The Crime
June 11, 1991
Charlotte Coliseum

Just to add to the previous comment, Victim>Eyes is one of the most underrated transitions and this version nails it. The other serious contender is from 10/28/90
