Very surprised this ain't here. Not just because it's THIS night, but the way it thunders out of deep space...The crowd loved it! Deserves to be here!

He's Gone
May 6, 1981
Nassau Coliseum

The dedication to Bobby Sands will always send a chill up my spine. Gotta hear it all the way through the jam into drums...
He's Gone
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

Where does He's Gone end and NFA begin? So gorgeous. This, along with the Half Step, the Peggy-O, and everything else along the way makes this a serious contender for best show ever.
Sugaree
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

Every Sugaree from '77 is ridiculous. But this is the best of the best by far. Pretty much as close to just exactly perfect as they can get.
Eyes Of The World

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

Sublime. One of the best versions to play for anyone unfamiliar with the Dead, will make them all say, what in the name of God goes on here?!?? A runaway train of raging, urgent beauty, and every time you think it's gonna fly off the tracks, the boys hang on tight as Jerry becomes a man possessed. So tight, so rocking, so out of control. A lot of versions on this list are great....but this is ridiculous!!!!!
