Another great 1993 version to go with 6/11, 6/21, 8/22, 9/10. Jerry goes nutso.

Another song that roared back to life in 1991. Bobby always nails this one.

From a great run of shows. Jerry kills the jam.

The "Aiko" is here but not the "Woman Are Smarter"? Blasphemy.

A very spunky, sharp and well played version with Jerry on fire. He owns this whole first set.

Jerry and Bob have some fantastic interplay throughout this one.

Seriously, this needs to be WAAAAAAAY higher. They play this song like their welcoming back a long lost friend. Keith is more alive here than he is in any other part of the show. Jerry's solo is the definition of torched and his fills are to die for. As good as many 1972-74 versions.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

One of those where you really can't find another one like it. This one's a real trip.

Carousel Ballroom

This early version reminds me of the Doors; Jerry even sounds like he's darkening his tone a bit to mirror Morrison a little. Really cool version.
