Tight reading of this classic.

Very hot version. Gets bogged down in too many bop-bops, but the mid-jam is fiery at this great 1993 show.

Another great 1991 version. On the new 30 Days of Dead for 2019 along with a smoking "Deal."

In no way does this compare to the Mount Rushmore version on 3/27/94, but a solid take with a very good finale.

Coming out of Bob's "Bob Star" rap. Not the leanest, meanest, longest or most jammed out version, but good in its own way and Jerry does some work.

This should be way higher. It might well be the best of the whole decade. Incendiary version.

Really great NYC version. Also, strangely, the first since May of that year.

This may be my new favorite version. Jerry puts everything he's got into it. Really soulful performance in the middle of a first set that thrills relentlessly.

I.....I....I can't believe I am upvoting a version of this song. There's an undeniable energy to this one, and Jerry plays some really interesting and creative stuff that deserves a better home than this dumpster fire of a song.
