Knickerbocker Arena

Such a nice version, included on Dozin' at the Knick -- this is my "go-to" Masterpiece.

Listen to the Jerry backing vocals at 2:40! Great version.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 16, 1994
Rosemont Horizon

'94 was actually a pretty good year for Scarlet > Fires and this is a good illustration
Promised Land
Sept. 18, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Perfect example of why you don't judge by year alone. This stretched out version tops most 70's versions, and quite easily. Hornsby infuses this with energy and Jerry jumps on board with some serious fanning.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Dec. 11, 1994
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

This Franklin's is very fun if you're a warm-hearted forgiving Head with a soft spot for 94/95. I nominated Franklin's only given that Help > Slip is forgettable.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 2, 1995
Deer Creek Music Center

This Fire is painful to listen to. Don't know if he fell asleep, but Jerry was clearly not well. Alas, my first and last show. : (
Not Fade Away
July 3, 1988
Oxford Plains Speedway

Passionate, high energy version
