The rippers from June are well-loved, but this version brings just as much heat. Keith and Billy having fun playing with the 3-on-2 Other One rhythm.

Part of the Dancin' sandwich. The outro jam isn't as deep as Cobo Hall two nights later, but it's certainly good enough to be listed here

Good version from an overall great Vince show

"What you got to say, Vince?" Vince says it well, Jerry picks out two great solos, and Bobby's slide solo isn't awful!

Hilarious response by Phil to the "Let Phil sing" chants at the top of this show. "Make Phil sing"?

Samson and Delilah
July 22, 1984
Ventura County Fairgrounds

The way Jerry holds onto his note on "dooooowwnnn" longer than Bobby and Brent. Inspired guitar soloing as well, an exceptional version that should have more votes.

accidentally posted a comment here that should've been for Samson and Delilah. I can tell the difference between Bobby songs, honest! ;-)
Days Between

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

All five musicians provide outstanding dynamic accompaniment for Jerry's stirring, elegiac vocal and guitar solo. Guaranteed to get you right in the feels.

Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" is a dead ringer for the intro of this version (or vice versa).
Looks Like Rain
Sept. 29, 1993
Boston Garden

The Lightning Bolt guitar was well suited for this ballad, and Jerry dances elegantly through the chord changes here, both in the solo and the outro. Too bad Bob has some sort of seizure during the last chorus around 4:20.
