Surprised this isn't here. Tight, clean version with beautiful tones and harmonies. Serene version before that blazing Fantasy.

I really dig Hornsby era performances of this classic tune.

Fantastic "Peter" with a great outro where Jerry really lets 'er rip.

One of the best post-Brent versions of "Stella Blue." Soaring, transcendent outro solo. Power Jerry.

Jerry's piling on the soul and plays a very nice solo.

Vince's first is a must hear. Anyone who thinks the post-Brent decline was an instantaneous thing needs to listen to these September East Coast shows. Vince's tone was much cleaner and natural sounding than 1992 onward.

This one should shoot way up to the list. The transition is stone cold brilliance and the "Fire" is a nuclear assault.
