Walking Blues
April 27, 1991
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

Wharf Rat
Dec. 9, 1988
Long Beach Arena

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

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
