BEAM! Very trippy. This show is just amazing. Get the SBDMC>DAT>CDR source.

Scary freaking version with ghosty Donna wails. Nice transition into a tear-jerking Wharf Rat.

Just exactly perfect version with crisp Jerry leads and Reading Rainbow tone on Brent's piano. Superior '83 playin'.

An expert rendition. Jerry is using his crispy Rosebud tone. The band is tight, and Jerry sings it beautifully. My favorite latter-era tune.

Music Hall

Hair-raising 1st set opener. Phil is all over his fretboard. A unique performance with a lot of thick piano work from Keith. Driving drummers!

A beautiful performance.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Low Phil in the mix, as per usual in '82, but his massive bombs roar through. Probably the most energetic performance I've heard.

Jerry's solos will take you on a trip to heaven.

This is one of the only MIDI version of this song that I enjoy.
Wharf Rat

Portland Memorial Coliseum

The "Big River" following this is needed to pull you back down to earth after hearing this.
