Surprised this isn't here. Tight, clean version with beautiful tones and harmonies. Serene version before that blazing Fantasy.

I really dig Hornsby era performances of this classic tune.

Fantastic "Peter" with a great outro where Jerry really lets 'er rip.

One of the best post-Brent versions of "Stella Blue." Soaring, transcendent outro solo. Power Jerry.

Jerry's piling on the soul and plays a very nice solo.

How this one only has six I will never know. Top 3 version along with 6/22/91 and 12/28/91.

A great show is a great show regardless of the era and this is a GREAT show in 1993. Very strong "FOTD," much peppier than usual with Jerry making up for his ragged voice with choice guitar work and Vince is on here.

This version deserves some love. The acoustic tone is perfect for this seductive, playful song, giving it that slinky sound it thrives on. Maybe the best I've heard post-1991.

HOLY SHIT, this version is incredible. Jerry fucking throttles the outro. Just pure power and emotion.
