China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Fast but very neat and tight. Cool version from the best run of 1986.

Motherfucker out of "Cold Rain & Snow." Shit hot and rockin'. A bit sloppy but full of energy.

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Vince is admittedly awful here, but Phil and Jer make up for it. Cool version.

Not a great show, Jerry still finding strength after the coma. This BRB, however, smokes.

Always the little song that could in any set it appeared in. This one rocks.

Looks Like Rain

Nassau Coliseum

Bob's 'I Can't Stand the Rain' shrieks are hair-raisingly powerful here. Just full of force.

Love how Bob and Jerry intertwine on this one.

This version is unrelentingly insane.

Killer start. Every song in this show is a top shelf version.
Eyes Of The World

Capital Centre

This show needs far more love than it receives and it starts with this colossal one time only "Eyes" -> "Foolish" combo. Jerry's intro to "Eyes" is jaw droppingly pure and soulful, and not a minute of its 20 total is wasted. This is a Top 3 show of 1991.
