Bruce's accordion really makes this one shine, and I'm not even a fan of it. Make of it what you will. + Phil bombs galore

Smokestack Lightnin'
July 30, 1988
Laguna Seca Recreation Area

Rare standalone Smokestack reeling out of Space, sweet playing to boot

Touch of Grey
May 6, 1984
Silva Hall

Solid 1st set closing Touch - Brent's keys add to the shine

Truckin'
Dec. 30, 1983
Civic Auditorium

On the heels of a sweet MLB jam - Bobby blows some lyrics but the playing is where it's at - dissolves into a nice Wharf Rat

He's Gone
Feb. 5, 1989
Henry J Kaiser Convention Center

Rare late era post-Space He's Gone - Phil bombs abound on this one

Cold Rain and Snow
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe

First time Phil sings in a looong time - amazed why such a legendary CRS is so low on the list
Stella Blue

Pine Knob

Space>Stella is just so awesome
Turn On Your Love Light
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

A rare and killer Lovelight encore - 'Shine on meeee'
Terrapin Station
June 11, 1991
Charlotte Coliseum

Awesome jam after the main song, first with then without Jerry. Bobby teases the Playin' reprise right before they hit Drums
Victim Or The Crime
June 11, 1991
Charlotte Coliseum

Just to add to the previous comment, Victim>Eyes is one of the most underrated transitions and this version nails it. The other serious contender is from 10/28/90
