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.

Corrina

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.

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.
