This FotD is a beauty. The vocals are sweet, and the solos flow like butter; just amazing.

Sitting on Top of the World

Omni Coliseum

This was soundchecked at a show sometime in ‘88; this date may not be accurate. Look for the “GD Home Movies” video on YouTube from LoloYodel

Opening for JGB w/ Rob Wasserman. Very good acoustic version with great vocals from Bob.

French's Camp

This is probably the best one I’ve heard JGB do. Jerry’s vocals are superb, almost 78 like. The jam in the middle is essential.

Mill Valley Recreation Center

Not played since the Warfield/RCMH run, and it shows a little, but overall it’s still pretty good

Just found this version. I closed my eyes and just sat down and listened it. What an experience. Definitely my favorite version now

Great 80s version from a weird but great 2nd set. The Miracle>Bertha>Jam>China Doll is superb!
Wang Dang Doodle

Madison Square Garden

My favorite version of the song. Feels less rushed than other versions like 9/2/83(still love that one). It feels like they’ve settled into the song.
