Everyone takes turns taking punches in the end, extremely well played!

Alumni Stadium, University of Massachusetts

Easily the best one I have ever heard, the outro is long and lazy and dominated by Jerry instead of Bobby on slide, check it out!

This is very tight and balanced, it almost sounds rehearsed...

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Very weird, intense version, sounds to be a a theme of a wild west action comic book cartoon?

Copps Coliseum

Love this one for the reverb on the build up to final verse and any version where Jerry sings 'and you got yours!' always gets special treatment from me. Feels like he's trying to tell someone something....

Memorial Coliseum

Hey KSU85 no need to sway me - Swing is one of my least favorite Terrapins of the year. It's just a novelty act. This is a great version.

Winterland Arena

I almost bailed on it than around 13:50 mark TNT explosion changed direction of a somewhat monotonous jam

Uptown Theater

Dueling Bobby/Jerry fanning intro sets tone for an under looked NFA. Jerry's groaning is always a good sign

Jai-Alai Fronton

Just heard it - love it! Upbeat drumming, great vocals, mean Jerry, and sweet sweet Bobby slide
