One of the marks of a great jack Straw is when jerry does those guitar fills around Bob's vocals. Jerry nails that here.

Knickerbocker Arena

11-2-85 is better. Jerry's amazing tone guitar tone is much better all fat, crunchy, and wah-ed up psychedelic. His playing is far tighter and more precise on 11-2-85. Like a murder trial taking place at a carnival.

Richmond Coliseum

Jerry's amazing tone is fat, crunchy, and wah-ed up psychedelic. Should definitely be ranked higher than 3-26-90 as at least the best post 70's version and I would argue better than 1969, which may be sacrilege, but there it is.

It's too bad there is only an audience version available because it rocks.

100% on fire Saturday Night after a string of several on fire tunes...Seriously rocking version. Keith is out of his mind. Donna even does a big growly thing and it fucking works!
