Good early version. I like the more complicated changes in 1992, almost seems like they were trying for an Eyes-feel.

The Other One

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

One of the stronger late-era versions. Split across Drums (with a third jam segment before). What's not to like?

I'm surprised this early version hasn't been mentioned. Very loose, and builds nicely to the Other One.

Eternity
March 25, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

From a pretty solid first set, this is a stand-out version of Eternity with Bruce Hornsby: worth a listen.

Deal

Giants Stadium

In the midst of a lackluster set (and show, and tour) this is a great version. Not as explosive, but well explored, with several intricate parts.

Warfield Theater

The final crescendo is okay, but the guitar break mid-song is really quite strong.

Yeah, Bob's voice is shot, but Jerry's solo and fills at the end are truly powerful; and he gets really good support from Vince on piano.
Passenger

Market Square Arena

Ooh,this one burns.
Dark Star
Dec. 11, 1969
Thelma Theater

Yeah, I'll vote it up. Interesting version, as are both of the shows on DaP's X: we get to see the Dead between the psychedelic Live/Dead (69) period and the more rock-oriented 1970 era.
Morning Dew
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Perfectly paced version.
