It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Nov. 2, 1985
Richmond Coliseum

One of the most powerful, heartwrenching vocal deliveries you'll ever hear from the man. My favorite version bar none.

Playin' In The Band
July 7, 1984
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

1984 outer space at it's best. Jerry's licks sound 10 years earlier. This one is a beast.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
March 19, 1990
Civic Center

Without a doubt one of the punchiest of the '90s. How can this not be up here!?!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith

One of the best of the '90s and a personal Top 5. One of the best transition jams ever.

Rosemont Horizon

This Corrina > MLB Jam before Space is one of my favorite pieces of music from Spring '93. Weir "Iron Man"s the intro too.

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!!
China Doll
Dec. 6, 1992
Knickerbocker Arena

Seriously this is a very beautiful, emotional China Doll. A must listen
Terrapin Station
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena

Wow how is this not ranked in the Top 5? Amazing Terrapin here.
The Other One
July 25, 1972
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.
