Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

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.

He's Gone
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

Without a doubt my favorite. Vocals are good, and don't go on too long (personal preference here), but the highlight is JG's solo at the end, which absolutely explodes with joyful energy. The rest of the band backs him up perfectly, especially Lesh's bombs and Keith's keys.
Standing On The Moon
Oct. 5, 1994
The Spectrum

Yes, a strong version where the power comes from the great solo at the end, rather than just a lot of yelling.
Uncle John's Band

The Spectrum

After the song itself is over they go into a great "freak-out" jam which reminds me of a cross between the Space during Dark Star on 10/26/89 and the "Tiger" jams of 72-4.

Long version (12+ mins). There are several parts to the jam, including one where they work it down very low (like the Giants version from the Summer). Also, very good key work from VW
