Great guitar work highlights this version, Jerry is dialed in from the get-go. Great show.

Posted the wrong date before; anyway, this is a scorcher.

Don't sleep on this one - super dark and intense version.

Great version that gets really spooky towards the end. Very nice exploratory passages with Jerry, Brent and the Devils especially shining.

An utterly whacked out version. Healy's vocal effects are just plain weird.

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

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.
