Rip roaring start to this Top 5 show of 1994.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 31, 1992
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

A "Scarlet -> Fire" not listed? Color me shocked. This one's a good one from the last of three really great nights in Vegas. Jerry's dialed in.

They Love Each Other
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Surprised this isn't up; this whole show is quite hot and has a very unique, calypso sort of vibe. This TLEO is a great example of that. Check it out.

Earth shaker! Great middle jam, enthusiastic vocals from Bobby, this one is a gem.

Standing On The Moon
Aug. 21, 1993
Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Yea, I still quibble with this being number one. One of the few I truly have a hard time justifying its case for.
He's Gone
Aug. 3, 1982
Starlight Theatre

That little Spanish style lick Jerry plays coming out of "Space" gets me every time. This one of the best versions of all time.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 30, 1990
Coliseum Arena

This version is sinfully low; brilliant jamming on this one that plays more like a 1972 than a 1990 "Playin'" with Jerry and Phil right up front. Lots of different colors and moods. Bump this one up, Top 10 post-Godcheaux version.
Estimated Prophet
March 16, 1990
Capital Centre

Insane version. The mid-jam goes on and on and Bobby needs an exorcist.
Estimated Prophet
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden

This one begs to get up way higher, it's better than MSG 1991 with Branford. They let Murray take near-complete control of the jam and he absolutely burns the Garden to the fucking ground.
