From Cincinnati `76 & also apparently on of the rare times this rocker was used to close a set! Also the pick of the day for 11~9~23 Dead days

Jerryz intro is extra sweet on this version and he's on point throughout. A fine pre coma Jerry while Bobby is off at times lyrically. Still Heady!

A particularly nice early years Brent version from winter 1979 tour. Jerry's guitar gently weeps wonderfully throughout. Latest pick from Dave~47

Brent is really hot on this one, a great version from 2022 Dead MSG big Box. Set between an upbeat Dupree's and a good Brent tune this Bobby centered song fits in real nice.
Day Job

I've got the box set for this and I love it! Now while not a very memorable Throwing Stones the Day Job is much nicer tune in the duo pairing. Brent's keys make this a good jam, with higher energy Jerry vocals than on DP6!

Decent set ender song from a good show also off a great early `80s box set! Phil and Brent shine with a high energy Jerry vocal.
Keep Your Day Job

Madison Square Garden

From Phil's upbeat and pronounced bass lines to Brents's keyboard magic and Jerry's higher energy make this version way better than Dicks Picks 6! Similar show from the song pairing with Hell in a Buskett at the end of the first set.
