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.

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!

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.
