Supplication!!! I know Keith is playing cheesy bullshit - maybe that's why the other 5 guys are on fire?

Sloppy show over all - here's the outlier , it's got that undeniable Jan '78 smoky flavor

Love it - used to be down on '86 but i'm really starting to get comfortable
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Tower Theatre

God damn this is the perfect tempo for this tune. Don't let the mostly mellow vibe here consume you - it ends in a rage right before the WBYGN jam.

Cuca - Been checking out a lot of your recs lately and you definitely are on the same page as me. '84 isn't a great year for this song but Ace(man does he play some creative/crunchy riffs) and Phil drive this one while I hate to say it, Jerry is just kind of background music. Still a very cool version!

Portland Memorial Coliseum

It's rare I agree with top 5 versions on this site but this one can't be denied between Jerry's intergalactic jamming, optimum Keith and machine gun Bobby at the end
