How can the bust-out not be on this list! If you were there, you remember what happened. The freeking HOUSE came down!

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
April 5, 1989
Crisler Arena

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!

Victim Or The Crime

Richfield Coliseum

Has to be one of the best. If not one of the heaviest.

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!

Brokedown Palace
Oct. 12, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

Beyond comprehension why this isn’t in the Top 10. Absolutely beautiful.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 28, 1983
Poplar Creek Music Theater

This is one of those occasions where the aud source is the only way to capture the energy. This Help > Slip portion is beyond outstanding. The energy crawls through the speakers.
Spanish Jam
Sept. 4, 1983
Park West Ski Resort

This 6 minute Spanish Jam features some of the best Weir/Garcia dialogue of the early ‘80s. This SBD is crystal clear. Jerry’s snaky lead runs with Bobs angular counterpoint attack is mind melting!
Cumberland Blues
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

I LOVE the way Phil leads this one in...and how locked in they all are as they stomp this version out. A straight fire hoe-down!
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Jerry just runs spider fingers all over the fretboard on this Slipknot. These ‘84 versions are amazing.
