Jerry’s tone at this show makes this perhaps the heaviest version ever played!!!

Transcendent version + with Jerr going full-on spacey! (Weird, like the whole show!)

Perfect encapsulation of this show: not a lot of highlights, but absolutely rippin’, at the same time.

Bobby killing the Scarlet early + then gets super chills out. Very interesting version.

It remains ever insane that this is even close to a top-10 version. If ya voted but didn’t listen to at least a sizable portion of the other 272 versions, you’re doing a disservice to those doing the listening + research. Yeeesh…

Looove this version! A tick behind 4/23 + 10/16 - the best of the tour - but right there. Arguably, the most interesting transition of them all…! Band: Abrupt stop Jerr: “Go ahead, Phil!” Band + Heads: F*** yes!
