Wonderful Greatest Story with EVERYONE on. Comes out of a hot Alabama. The mix shines everyone through well, and is a classic early Brent version

Palais Des Sports

Keith is the MVP in this one. There may be Phil bombs abound but Keith really kills it
Foolish Heart
Aug. 3, 1994
Giants Stadium

I have mixed feelings about this one - on the one hand its a long, flowing version with *nearly* everyone present at all times. On the other hand it feels like Jerry's giving up and there really is no jamming going on. No excitement, no real energy, just play and move on. Bob tries his best to fill in. To each his own
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

To my ears Jerry stumbles a little bit searching for the sound but Bobby really helps bring this one altogether. Not as powerful like many other versions from this period IMO
Shakedown Street
March 27, 1985
Nassau Coliseum

Not earth shattering but like the last comment said tight and straightforward
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 17, 1982
Ventura County Fairgrounds

The energetic answer to the mellow PITB that segued into this wonderful China>Rider
