Great guitar work highlights this version, Jerry is dialed in from the get-go. Great show.

Posted the wrong date before; anyway, this is a scorcher.

Don't sleep on this one - super dark and intense version.

Great version that gets really spooky towards the end. Very nice exploratory passages with Jerry, Brent and the Devils especially shining.

An utterly whacked out version. Healy's vocal effects are just plain weird.

One More Saturday Night
May 7, 1972
Bickershaw Festival

Bobby saying "Here's Mr. Garcia" when Jerry takes his solo never fails to put a smile on his voice. Bobby was on this whole show. This song was NEVER the same once it left Europe. It almost immediately became a tossed off afterthought with little to no effort. I never, ever willingly listen to post-1972 versions. But in Europe, this song is as good a rock and roll rave up as any ever done. It's up there with "Shout" and "Gimme Some Lovin'" as one of the best party rockers of all time.

Not quite as focused as 3/27/94, but Jerry brings it at the end.

Jerry's solos are great here. Some really lovely runs.

Seriously, this should not be languishing with one vote. This is a spectacularly dark, intense, driven version.

Vince really shone on "Bird Song" from 1993-95.
