My favorite stand-alone version. This one absolutely rocks.

Great work from Bruce and Vince. Not the flashiest for Jerry, but he's still good here.

The Omni

How did this one not make it up? This a full steam ahead rock and roll explosion that never lets up.

Ship of Fools

Cal Expo

This one of the most underrated shows of their best year. This is a gorgeous "SOF" with a gold standard Jerry solo.

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

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

Capital Centre

Insane version. The mid-jam goes on and on and Bobby needs an exorcist.
Estimated Prophet

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.
