Some really nimble guitar work by Jerry. Ripping version

Metropolitan Sports Center

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Patient build into a soaring version. Glides nicely into a Playin' Reprise

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

I'll double comment till the lights go out... Regardless of era or any other markers or metrics, this one thrills like few, if any, others. The peaks are glorious glimpses of the beyond, the valleys are soulful renderings of agony - this version is the absolute purpose of this song.

Giants Stadium

Throwing HAYMAKERS. Bobby bringing chaw on vocals, Jerry is red hot on leads, Lesh and devils killing the low end, Brent with passionate fills. This one is FIRE. Bobby screaming the refrain = goosebumps

Reno Centennial Coliseum

Oh man, this one is passionate. Very soulful licks from Jerry
The Music Never Stopped
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Brent goes NUTS in this. Chunky playing, combining with Jerry's triumphant leads, and Bobby's powerful rhythmic chords
