My favorite stand-alone version. This one absolutely rocks.

Great work from Bruce and Vince. Not the flashiest for Jerry, but he's still good here.

How did this one not make it up? This a full steam ahead rock and roll explosion that never lets up.

This one of the most underrated shows of their best year. This is a gorgeous "SOF" with a gold standard Jerry solo.

Funky, tight version with Brent especially on fire.

I love this version. Which they kept it like this.

What a trio! Must've motivated to Bobby to grab the spotlight back with the kickass TMNS that followed.

Powerful version that could use a few more votes. Jerry's voice is strained and cracks a couple of times, but he's giving it his all and the guitar work is excellent, Phil's also all over this one.

First one since 1987, and honestly one of the better ones I've heard. Amazingly beautiful, everyone's together for this one.

Jerry had some tech issues in this first set, that's probably it's not as widely known. But the whole band is really on.
