Listen to Phil on this one. Then listen to Bobby.

OK, I'll say it: "I can't believe this isn't on here." Majestic, powerful MD. Jerry on a mission. Bobby playing clippety-cloppety sounds in the coda.

Jerry sinks his teeth into this jam. A wonder to behold.

Arguably the version in which Bobby forgot the fewest lyrics. Also great, imaginative playing by Jerry throughout.

Civic Center

From the cold depths of 1985 comes a truly great MSWS. Drums are tight, Phil and Bobby sound great, and Jerry repeatedly comes up with gold.

The peak from Jerry and Bobby in the coda is very intense.

This PITB won't change your life like it did Bman's but it has great playing from Bobby and Brent.

Seattle Center Coliseum

It's not a complicated tune and yet Jerry loses the form several times. Not likely to endear Deadheads to this new addition. It is amusing to hear him get pissed and play power chords tho.

Bobby decides to take a completely new approach to this tune here and it's awesome.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Bobby has a very good idea singing Wang Dang Doodle over this.
