Rip roaring start to this Top 5 show of 1994.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

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

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.

This may be my favorite. Jerry's vocals and playing are both lovely.

Sounds like they tease "Satisfaction" at the beginning.

Brent is outstanding here.

Upvoting this to draw attention to how spectacularly horrendous this performance is. It's something to behold.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Wembley Arena

I was just about ask that...the key for "Fire" is different. What an outlier. Bruce is great here and outshines Jerry, who's rarely sounded froggier. I think 4/7/85 is the only show where I've heard him sound worse.
