Easy song to overlook (I had no idea I forgot to submit it as I love this show), but this is a good one.

Surprised not to see this one; killer start to one of the year's best shows.

I often think of this one as a throwaway, but this version flat out kicks ass. Great solo from Jerry. These shows at MSG smoked.

Buckeye Lake Music Center

Great version from one the best 1993 shows. Jerry's vocals are excellent and the outro jam smokes.

Standing On The Moon
Aug. 21, 1993
Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Yea, I still quibble with this being number one. One of the few I truly have a hard time justifying its case for.
He's Gone
Aug. 3, 1982
Starlight Theatre

That little Spanish style lick Jerry plays coming out of "Space" gets me every time. This one of the best versions of all time.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 30, 1990
Coliseum Arena

This version is sinfully low; brilliant jamming on this one that plays more like a 1972 than a 1990 "Playin'" with Jerry and Phil right up front. Lots of different colors and moods. Bump this one up, Top 10 post-Godcheaux version.
Estimated Prophet

Capital Centre

Insane version. The mid-jam goes on and on and Bobby needs an exorcist.
Estimated Prophet

Madison Square Garden

This one begs to get up way higher, it's better than MSG 1991 with Branford. They let Murray take near-complete control of the jam and he absolutely burns the Garden to the fucking ground.
