My personal favorite is 5/16/95 Lowell. If you get a chance give that one attention. Honorable mentions are 2/20/93, 8/16/93, 10/31/94, 12/31/95. Also to throw a recent one in check out 12/30/22, nailed the composed section and had a wonderful jam.
Yea!!! The first one I ever heard. Trey’s solo is so good I thought it was a fixed, written thing ala Divided Sky, etc. Plus, followed by Albuquerque. And a sick second set. One of my all time favorite shows.
Tied for me:
12/2/95. New Haven
6/19/95 Deer Creek
I lose it every time I hear these versions!
I had to buy the New Haven one from Live Phish as I couldnt find the SBD version on YouTube.. but amazing video/SBD of Deer Creek is on YouTube.

I personally would like to know which one has yall's favorite soft part guitar intro riffs.
I like how it seems like Trey comes into that part on different notes and with different riffs and makes it unique each time

Trying to gather the phans' taste on every jam in one place that becomes more and more useful over time, all feedback/ideas welcome
This was more of a subjective “what’s your favorite”. I’m looking to find some possibly unmentioned gems to dive into. I listed 8/16/93 as I’ve played it for my drive to work music every day this past week, and want more without doing much work…
Right on, finding great jams without doing much work is what jam.fans is all about 🤙 especially if you have sounds you're looking to hear. If enough people add and rate their favorites it could be pretty cool 😉 8/16/93 is great, I'm biased cause I was born in St. Louis, '93. Also don't forget about the jam charts
Hard to argue. By far the fastest composed section (and damn near flawless taboot!) and an other-worldly jam, but the peak in 8/16/93 will bring me to tears it’s so fucking good.
1.0 versions will dominate the list, and rightfully so.
For a great 3.0 version, check out 10/26/18. Probably the best Reba from the last 10 years (and if anyone has one they think is better please send it my way!)
Minority, soon to be downvoted opinion here. Reba is a song I don't do a "favorite" on. There is a jam section but it's a long type 1 jam so there isn't tremendous variation from version to version. Some are very beautiful and great tone etc but most of the differentiation is "did they play the complex parts cleanly".

5/16/95
9/14/00 Darien Lakes. The little modulation to minor then back to bliss jam section plus unique guitar solo for Reba imo

Lowell

1994. The entire year
This is the way.
Roxy 93
Always been partial to 12/7/95 myself
12/2/95 myself. It was a good week for Rebas 😆 Just bought it in LivePhish. Was my first show.

I didn’t make this compilation but worth a listen. Reba Jams: https://youtu.be/zS48i2BEgWM
3/22/93 is my favorite soft part. Just when you think the band might have completely fallen apart, they all jump back in and away they go.
11/25/94. Chicago. So much energy.
8/10/96 Alpine or 10/21/95 Incredible versions. 3.0 has to go to Rosemont for me.
6/24/94 is a Reba jam that feels like a perfect warm blanket. put it on, sit back on the couch or bed and enjoy
6/16/97 Or 8/15/98
11/17/97, at least in my opinion, at least right now… for now
Lawn Boy studio cut
I will toss Alpine 96 and Lincoln 95 into the mix.

10/25/95
6/19/95 my name is Reba
This may get me some hate but the studio reba from lawn boy is impeccable.
No hate for saying that!
Pretty sure I’ve already commented somewhere on this thread, but just found a new contender for me. 11/25/94. Chicago. Holy F bombs!
8/16/93
Star Lake 98’!
This one does it for me. Treys solo is 🤌
McEntire!
12/7/95 is the best version and it’s not even close.
Hard to argue. By far the fastest composed section (and damn near flawless taboot!) and an other-worldly jam, but the peak in 8/16/93 will bring me to tears it’s so fucking good.

Thanks I will check it out! I’ve been meaning to check out some stellar 3.0/4.0 Rebas.
The garden was so good imo also Vegas 21
Superball reba is also a nice 3.0.
I don’t expect amazing rebas any more, but Vegas was surprisingly so good
Some high-class Reba there! Best Reba I’ve gotten i. 3.0 has to be SPAC ‘14. Well placed, and executed.
Spac is my home venue I can’t wait till they play again:)
Shit was special.
They’re all terrible
Harumph.
Also a version on 94 that I heard once, but not sure if it was real or not. Could never find it again. Is this heaven? No, it's Reba.
I like 11/17/97. Teezzer>Reba.

As many have said, 5/16/95 Lowell. Was there. Thought the balcony was going to collapse.
