Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

This Bertha cooks. Definately deserves to be here. Jerry forgets the last verse, but the less Jerry sings, the more Jerry plays.

Not as good as the shrine, but has its amazing moments.

As heartfelt as the Europe versions. Worth a listen. Lots of epic stuff on DP 23.

Definately should be in the converation as heady. Smokin' second set opener to this very fine show.

Dead base in the day, had this as a top 5 show of 1992...I think.

This thing is no joke!
Terrapin Station

The Spectrum

I think its not as a hard hitting Terrapin, since its over 15 minutes and does have a jammed out feeling of being in the clouds. Nonetheless, unique and beautiful version.

Chrisler Arena

This is absolutely torched by everyone.

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

They did this sequence, I think 4 times. This is by far the best with all of the spot-on transitions. I don't think the Playin' ever gets tiger, but it is musically perfect to the ears. I completely agree with its top 5 ranking.
