Bruce makes this version. Great interplay between him and Jerry and a chargin', tight version overall. Amazing show.

Galloping, tight version. Good interplay from everyone involved. One of thew few tunes Keith really came alive during his last two years with the band

Can't believe this one isn't on here! Jumpin' hot version from the best show of the year.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

This one gets some hate because everyone was expecting "Fire" after "Scarlet" and Bob kind of forces the band to go into "Bucket" instead. That said, this is a fast and furious version that deserves your attention.

Kickass version.

Only complaint is Healey goes overboard with the echo on Bob's voice.

This is a great and unique version. If there's any complaint I have, it's a little TOO heavy on Jerry, as Vince was really holding back (understandable given how early in his tenure it was), which rob it of some of the dynamics that make other versions so special. In the 1974-90 versions, I looked forward as much to Keith and Brent's contributions as I did Jerry's.

Agreed, although some of the 1990-1991 have a bit more of the urgency present in the studio version.
