Really fun, rocking version to close out what's really an excellent show. Top 5 of 1993.

Spunky version from the first night of the last MSG run. Jerry is alert, singing with confidence and playing extremely well.

Fuck this song, but the entire show is now represented. Decent Jerry leads.

Lovely version of the Dylan classic. Jerry plays some great leads and his acoustic tone works extremely well here.

Not the biggest fan of this song, but this is a good version with a strong Jerry solo.

I'm going to throw some more praise at this version; this one excites like few others. That this one is languishing with 15 votes while 9/13/93 and 3/23/95 have 40+ is obscene. Jerry plays three different solos and they all roar. This one is up there with the absolute best of them.

I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but this version is just long; it's mostly just some competent noodling. There's no moment where the band hit a good groove or Jerry let loose on guitar that made me smile and go, 'wow, they're bringing it right now.' I will say that Jerry's vocals are exceptionally clear for the period, but that's it.

This version is excellent. Very fast and inspired.

Definitely the best post-12/28/91 bustout, but agreed that it's nowhere near in the same league.

Just wanted to throw some sugar on this one; this is in the Top 5 best individual song performances post-Brent. It's dark, spooky, and has the perfect vibe. The second set pre-Drums for this show has such a fantastic flow to it.
