Easy song to overlook (I had no idea I forgot to submit it as I love this show), but this is a good one.

Surprised not to see this one; killer start to one of the year's best shows.

I often think of this one as a throwaway, but this version flat out kicks ass. Great solo from Jerry. These shows at MSG smoked.

Great version from one the best 1993 shows. Jerry's vocals are excellent and the outro jam smokes.

Looks Like Rain

Nassau Coliseum

Bob's 'I Can't Stand the Rain' shrieks are hair-raisingly powerful here. Just full of force.

Winterland Arena

Love how Bob and Jerry intertwine on this one.

This version is unrelentingly insane.

Killer start. Every song in this show is a top shelf version.
Eyes Of The World
March 20, 1991
Capital Centre

This show needs far more love than it receives and it starts with this colossal one time only "Eyes" -> "Foolish" combo. Jerry's intro to "Eyes" is jaw droppingly pure and soulful, and not a minute of its 20 total is wasted. This is a Top 3 show of 1991.
