Lovely version from an underrated show. Nice harmonies from Brent especially and Jerry's solos sparkle.

How is this not here? Smooth, emotive version with a soaring solo from Jerry. Bruce buttresses it beautifully. Top version.

Augusta Civic Center

I think my head exploded the first time I listened to this one. It's almost not human how intense this bad boy is.

Richmond Coliseum

One of the absolute highlights of Jerry's entire output as a guitarist. I teared up at just how beautiful this version is.
El Paso
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden

This is my favorite "El Paso." Bob's acoustic guitar adds a very appropriate touch, and the way Jerry and Phil decorate it is fantastic.

Fantastic late day "Bertha." They're really on fire for this one.
Wang Dang Doodle
July 2, 1989
Sullivan Stadium

This version should be at the top. It's unusually spooky and driven, compared to the more relaxed versions that followed.
