This is worthy of some votes. Jerry plays some fantastic runs at the end with Bobby shredding behind him. An excellent version.

Amazingly, I think this run I think was in some ways more consistent than 1991. There were some great ones at that one but some duds as well. They were remarkably on for most of this run, and it's clear they were trying hard. It's 1994, so there's some warts, but damn, overall, they killed it.

Whose boneheaded idea was it to let Phil sing co-lead? Should've just pawned it off to Bobby alone like some of the Pig songs. Probably best that they retired it, though.
Terrapin Station
March 24, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena
This is the one that ticks all the boxes for me: - Beautiful reading of "Lady with a Fan"? Check. - Powerful delivery of the "Inspiration" and "Terrapin!" refrain parts? Check. - Killer post-song jam? Check. I'll risk my credibility on this site by proclaiming this not just the best Brent version, but the best ever.

I judge my "Terrapin"'s by how triumphant and anthemic the "Inspiration" and "Terrapin" refrain part sounds; after the Abbey Road medley, I consider the Terrapin suite as a whole to be the greatest long-form suite of music in rock and roll. This being the first "Terrapin," the whole song including the key "Terrapin!" refrain is given a very tentative run-through. Musically, it's very precise and direct, with no bungles in a technical sense, but the majesty that infuses so many future versions just isn't there. Give me 3/24/90 over this one any day.
