Pure Donna vocals, and raging Garcia solo before the last verse. Donna sounds great throughout this entire show—it's a real smoker.

NOT just another '77 version. BIG bridge solo, pure Jerry/Donna backing vocals, scary Mutron solo into Eyes. One of the best.

NOT just another '77 version. Insanely-tight jamming, 2nd set opener, KEITH, JERRY, PHIL! Best version I've heard.

Easily the best '74 version. Keith plays beautiful Rhodes piano, Phil tears it up, and the vocals are pure.

Out of Half-Step opener of the last show of Brent's first tour with the band. Love his early '79 keys sound.

Jer and the boys just dominate this one. They hit every chord change just exactly perfect, and Jerry's end solo is great. Intense vocals all the way through. A guy calls for them to play "Purple Haze" after the song on the Mance/Bass audience tape, which is excellent. The soundboard is also very good for '82.

Jerry is pretty absent for most of the song (it sounds like he was trying to get the steel drum MIDI set on his rig), but the rest of the band absolutely kills it. Vince does some great work here. When Jer finally kicks it into gear, the jam starts to go to some interesting places.

This is a stand-out for sure. This whole show is probably the best of 1994.

This performance contains the best Phil I have heard on a Dew. The appropriate amount of Phil Bombs this song deserves.
