Giants Stadium

A rockin' reprise out of a haunting "China Doll."

Samba In The Rain

The Palace

I...can't believe I'm submitting this...but Jerry lays down a very good solo worth hearing once.

Promised Land
May 27, 1993
Cal Expo

Torched rendition. 5/26 gets all the attention but 5/27 is pretty fucking excellent as well.

Ship of Fools
May 6, 1989
Frost Amphitheatre

Jerry modifies the intro and delivers a riveting solo later on.

Little Red Rooster
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

I'm not big on post-Brent versions of this song: his 'henhouse' verse made it for me. But this is a monster: Jerry just tears it a new asshole. One of the highlights of one of the best shows of 1991.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Shit, this version is hot, and I'm normally not a "Sailor -> Saint" fan. Bob's vocals are so animated here.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 23, 1995
Charlotte Coliseum

Another one whose ranking confuses me. Every 1991 version with Bruce outranks this one. How 9/4/1991 or even 10/31/1991 have so few votes in comparison is strange.
Brokedown Palace
Sept. 26, 1991
Boston Garden

I used to not like this one because of the accordian, but there's so much soul in Jerry's delivery on this one.
Brokedown Palace
June 25, 1995
RFK Stadium

Heartbreaking. So much soul here.
