My favorite stand-alone version. This one absolutely rocks.

Great work from Bruce and Vince. Not the flashiest for Jerry, but he's still good here.

The Omni

How did this one not make it up? This a full steam ahead rock and roll explosion that never lets up.

Ship of Fools

Cal Expo

This one of the most underrated shows of their best year. This is a gorgeous "SOF" with a gold standard Jerry solo.

Man Smart, Woman Smarter

Copps Coliseum

Best post-Brent version. I miss his ballsy belting on the second verse on versions after he passed, but this one is great thanks to Bruce and Jerry.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 3, 1986
Cal Expo

A rare version of this combo where I think the "Scarlet" is more exciting than the "Fire." Excellent version overall, though.
New Speedway Boogie
Feb. 19, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

How is this fucking low? Though "New Speedway" had a banner comeback throughout 1991, the first bust-out is the best; it has killer momentum, Jerry nails the words, and the crowd reaction is priceless. Get the Vernon aud, which sounds excellent and captures the crowd's reaction.
Dark Star
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

There's a hint of "The Other One" in there as well before "Drums."
When I Paint My Masterpiece
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

Bruce even sneaks in an accordian tease of DS DURING the song.
