Long, patient, mellow version.

What can I say, I love Bobby and i love this tune. This naturally quirky song is executed perfectly, as with most outings in spring/summer '85

Jerry's first solo puts this one over the top

Rapid fire version out of a heady space. Jam is high octane

Space jams from summer '85 are legit

Absolute scorcher. Nimble licks abound

Like others, not a massive TJ fan, but was in Nashville and a spin felt obligatory. This one is a crusher - band is tight and Jer puts the hammer DOWN on the leads. Very enjoyable version and yeah, they def brought it in Nash during an already iconic month in dead history

Powerhouse energetic and Bobby legitimately snarling and growling in full force. Killllllller

Thick cosmic soup. At times demonic in nature, then a flawless transition into Terrapin

The embarrassingly entendred name “clam jam,” is very well done. I’ve always loved this show
