VERY rare Throwing Stones that isn't the second to last set closer - goes straight into a solid GDTRFB

The Centrum

Awesome Eyes, with what appears to be Jerry playing Bobby's licks in the very beginning - AUD only but spectacular nonetheless

Boston Garden

Petrified that I'm the first to nominate this - DO NOT SKIP JUST BECAUSE ITS AN AUD - Awesome Playin' that dissolves into a spectacular He's Gone

Fillmore West

Previous review nails it. Astonishing end jam during a GRATE Dew
West L.A. Fadeaway

Downs of Santa Fe

Wow - FAT Fadeaway, probably one of the top mid '80s versions. The entire band is on. Seamons matrix is best source IMO
Greatest Story Ever Told
Sept. 17, 1991
Madison Square Garden

On the heels of an Iko opener, high energy and Bruce is all over it
He Was A Friend of Mine
April 23, 1969
The Ark

This should be #1. Dark, depressing, and yet blistering. Awesome set opener from a classic show. Ark Box Set please!!!!!
