In a sea of equals ('89 had many great versions) this one rises above ther rest for me. Playing UMs hoops arena while they win the NCAA. Karma!

The tail end of the best Touch > Greatest you'll ever hear from this band. This version is one long Jerry solo. And boy do they nail the mark!

This one is a real tear jerker. Some of the most soulful singing I’ve ever heard.

Easily one of the best. High energy and A+ execution. A good version to quiet the naysayers!!

Seriously this is a very beautiful, emotional China Doll. A must listen

Wow how is this not ranked in the Top 5? Amazing Terrapin here.

Paramount Theater

The jam passage in the middle of this make it truly unique, and one of the best pieces of improvisational jamming during one of their strongest years. With hints of what sounds like the Weather Report intro and GDTRFB, St. Stephen and even Samson...it’s an amazing thing.
