Tight reading of this classic.

Dean Smith Center

Very hot version. Gets bogged down in too many bop-bops, but the mid-jam is fiery at this great 1993 show.

Another great 1991 version. On the new 30 Days of Dead for 2019 along with a smoking "Deal."

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

In no way does this compare to the Mount Rushmore version on 3/27/94, but a solid take with a very good finale.

The Other One

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Coming out of Bob's "Bob Star" rap. Not the leanest, meanest, longest or most jammed out version, but good in its own way and Jerry does some work.

Terrific version.
Fire On The Mountain

The Spectrum

Jerry's in shit voice for this one, but the playing is undeniably hot.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 21, 1983
Worcester Centrum

Deserves to be ranked in the same universe as 10/14. Very different but equally strong and creative.

Saratoga Performing Arts Center

Top 5 version for me. Not a wasted moment.
Candyman
April 1, 1995
Pyramid Arena

This "Candyman" is damn fine. Perfect combination of logistics, feel, and full band effort. Really strong version that's not 1995 quality at all. These two shows are the bee's knees for the year along with 2/21.
