Looks Like Rain
Sept. 20, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Great version featuring heads up Garcia playing, and some classic late 80's Bobby vocals (with just the right amount of DH weirdness)

Feel Like A Stranger
Feb. 27, 1990
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Funky Phil to start, with a Jerry midi finish that I just love (silky silky, crazy crazy night)

Victim Or The Crime
Feb. 27, 1990
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

This version slips into full blown space at one point, unique version of a under rated song

Hey Pocky Way
Oct. 3, 1987
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Great version with plenty of Jerry/ Brent goodness (not a fan of the song? This one may change that)

Hey Pocky Way
Feb. 17, 1988
Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium

Brent blows a few lyrics early on, but he and Jerry more than make up for it in this hometown performance (makes no difference who or where you are)

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

I have to admit I clicked thru to listen (make sure you check for other copies, and of course choose the Charlie Miller version) with the expectation of hating it, and discrediting gregulator's pick... Saw them live from 87-95, and I have some horrible memories from '95 bed wettings. But I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, it built up a good head of steam and brought a smile to my face...fuck, I even enjoyed the Corrina after it. Drummers were top notchery for this show.
Hell in a Bucket
July 15, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California

That being said, 9-24-87 is still my pick for best...
