Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 31, 1992
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

A "Scarlet -> Fire" not listed? Color me shocked. This one's a good one from the last of three really great nights in Vegas. Jerry's dialed in.

They Love Each Other
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Surprised this isn't up; this whole show is quite hot and has a very unique, calypso sort of vibe. This TLEO is a great example of that. Check it out.

Earth shaker! Great middle jam, enthusiastic vocals from Bobby, this one is a gem.

Looks Like Rain
March 28, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Bob's 'I Can't Stand the Rain' shrieks are hair-raisingly powerful here. Just full of force.
Sugaree
Oct. 21, 1978
Winterland Arena

Love how Bob and Jerry intertwine on this one.
Playin' In The Band
July 29, 1988
Laguna Seca Recreation Area

This version is unrelentingly insane.
Feel Like A Stranger

Capital Centre

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.
