Passionate, Jerry sounds like he is sining this as a desperate warning amidst a party that slowly catches on to the singers desertion and by the end..

JFK Stadium

Another top 10 show for me, this is hot as was the temperature on this day. Stadium was collapsing but the music was amazing. Captured on the cool Rhino DVD cd Set.

The best from an underrated show. You can hear the crowd explode when the female drapes Jerry in a towel. Fantastic rendition. What a show. Walton apparently brought Larry Bird and Kevin McHale to this show. They apparently enjoyed the evening.

Not much of a 90's guy but i dig this song. This is the best one i have heard except for maybe the studio outtake version on So Many Roads box.
