This isn't on here? From this show? Pretty memorable version.

Caps off one of the most ballad-heavy shows in the band's history.

Nice, airy Shakedown

Teeters on the edge of being too fast for me, but its one of the more rhythmically unique versions I've ever heard. This thing DRIVES...hard.

I'm going to check this whole show out soon, bcarter. Holy Moses, the setlist is stacked!

I will continue to bang the talking drum for this incredible version. 4/20/84 gets well-deserved accolades but I like this one just as much. I would also encourage fans of these versions to check out 4/26/84, which is currently (and criminally) sitting in single digits but is in a similar vein with another terrific transition jam.

Delivered with conviction.
