My favorite stand-alone version. This one absolutely rocks.

Great work from Bruce and Vince. Not the flashiest for Jerry, but he's still good here.

The Omni

How did this one not make it up? This a full steam ahead rock and roll explosion that never lets up.

This one of the most underrated shows of their best year. This is a gorgeous "SOF" with a gold standard Jerry solo.

Funky, tight version with Brent especially on fire.

Good Lovin'
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

Wanted to bring more attention to this one; regardless of the year or era, this is one of Bob's very best "Good Lovin'"'s, from the last truly great show they ever played.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 3, 1982
The Scope

One of the best ever. Should be in the 40-50+ votes bracket. The transition is one of the most creative and intense I can think of.
Eyes Of The World
April 3, 1982
The Scope

Never heard an "Eyes" like this before. Like a totally different arrangement. And it's gorgeous.

Winterland Arena

Absolutely wild version that never lets up at any point. The mid-jam is indeed ferocious.
Sugaree
Dec. 29, 1977
Winterland Arena

The most intense, volcanic peak of any "Sugaree" known to man. Inhuman.
