Feel Like A Stranger
Dec. 30, 1990
Coliseum Arena

Hot version with Hornsby.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Don't know how this one wasn't submitted yet. One of the most fired up versions I've ever heard from the first great post-Brent show.

Good Lovin'
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

I know, I know, 1995, but this is a strong, fun version, from a surprisingly strong show.

New Minglewood Blues
June 20, 1983
Merriweather Post Pavilion

This version shoots out like a pressure bullet...kick-ass version to open a hot show on a rainy night.

Comments

Eyes Of The World
May 14, 1978
Providence Civic Center

This is an amazing "Eyes," deserves to be at least in the Top 20. Great length, tremendous jamming, whole band on point.
Wharf Rat
June 25, 1995
RFK Stadium

Unlike the sloppy and overhyped final "Dew" four days earlier in Albany, this is truly an all time, Top 5-10 rendition of "Wharf Rat." Not sure what happened between Giant Stadium and RFK, like two completely different people playing and singing the same song. Jerry's solo is excellent and his vocals are perfect for this song.
Hell in a Bucket
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

Surprised this one wasn't up yet! Listened to this whole show today and this is a great "Bucket," Jerry flexes some serious muscle. This is the best show of 1993, which is actually a pretty good year.
Loose Lucy
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

I'm not always a fan of this song, it feels too much like a throwaway, but this version is hot. Jerry's solo during the jam is blazing.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 2, 1977
Paramount Theatre

The best "Scarlet -> Fire" of 1977. Yes, I said it. Exceptionally tight, and Keith is transcendent on keys.
