Here's where the bus came by for me. My first show...every note is burned into my brain!

Giants Stadium

Sick extended jaminess reminds us how much of a kick in the ass Hornsby gave Jerry

Bob really belts it out on this relatively early version. WAS THAT SOME KINDA JOKE?!? Awesome...Zimmy would be proud.

Mature Sugaree from an underrated NYE show. Jerry's voice is so expressive and Brent finally has his part dialed on the B3.

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Powerhouse '78 version...Jerry's WAY into it. Keith's late-era approach to the song has changed so much...he just pounds it out instead of ticklin'.
Eyes Of The World

Frost Amphitheatre

LOVE this one! beautifully paced, crystalline solos

The Omni

This one is a new discovery for me. This might actually be my #2...behind the one from two days earlier. Slipknot out of the outro jam...really jazzy and nice.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 13, 1994
Memorial Stadium

I was there. I remember not being all that impressed. Maybe it was the sound at these shows? The combination of Cutler's live mix and Jerry's new rig. Listening to the tapes, though...what I wouldn't give...
The Eleven

Fillmore West

WOW. This one's a monster!
