Probably my favorite versions with Bruce and that's saying a lot.

The bass and drums are practically absent on recording but Jerry/Brent/Bobby really sound great during jams. Any '82 Shakedowns are a B at worst

12/16/78 Lite. Typical tight late '78 version with whistling Bobby and all.

Killer 3 minute jam closes this one out. Just exactly things.

The 3 night run in Chicago 1/30-2/1 is some of the best GD of all time. This is what winter in the midwest sounds like.

IMO a top 5 for sure. Full of sound and chaos.

This is not a stand alone version a roaring Stella legit segues into this pleasing FT. Really high grade shit! Love Bobby's complimentary playing along with the very mean and proud tone omitting out of JG's guitar. God damn what a climatic middle and ending jam. 10/10 shit right here. Shocked i'm new to this craziness.
