Tight reading of this classic.

Not Fade Away
March 24, 1993
Dean Smith Center

Very hot version. Gets bogged down in too many bop-bops, but the mid-jam is fiery at this great 1993 show.

Black Throated Wind
May 12, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Another great 1991 version. On the new 30 Days of Dead for 2019 along with a smoking "Deal."

Morning Dew
June 26, 1994
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

In no way does this compare to the Mount Rushmore version on 3/27/94, but a solid take with a very good finale.

The Other One
June 20, 1983
Merriweather Post Pavilion

Coming out of Bob's "Bob Star" rap. Not the leanest, meanest, longest or most jammed out version, but good in its own way and Jerry does some work.

Eyes Of The World
May 14, 1978
Providence Civic Center

This is an amazing "Eyes," deserves to be at least in the Top 20. Great length, tremendous jamming, whole band on point.
Wharf Rat
June 25, 1995
RFK Stadium

Unlike the sloppy and overhyped final "Dew" four days earlier in Albany, this is truly an all time, Top 5-10 rendition of "Wharf Rat." Not sure what happened between Giant Stadium and RFK, like two completely different people playing and singing the same song. Jerry's solo is excellent and his vocals are perfect for this song.
Hell in a Bucket
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

Surprised this one wasn't up yet! Listened to this whole show today and this is a great "Bucket," Jerry flexes some serious muscle. This is the best show of 1993, which is actually a pretty good year.
Loose Lucy
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

I'm not always a fan of this song, it feels too much like a throwaway, but this version is hot. Jerry's solo during the jam is blazing.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 2, 1977
Paramount Theatre

The best "Scarlet -> Fire" of 1977. Yes, I said it. Exceptionally tight, and Keith is transcendent on keys.
