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.

This may be my favorite. Jerry's vocals and playing are both lovely.

Sounds like they tease "Satisfaction" at the beginning.

Brent is outstanding here.

Upvoting this to draw attention to how spectacularly horrendous this performance is. It's something to behold.

I was just about ask that...the key for "Fire" is different. What an outlier. Bruce is great here and outshines Jerry, who's rarely sounded froggier. I think 4/7/85 is the only show where I've heard him sound worse.
