Hot, high-energy, uptempo version with some excellent drumming by Billy.

Plenty of emotion in this one. Jerry's vocal performance, particularly at the end, is awesome.

Brent is a huge factor on this stellar version, particularly near the end. Love this one, and shocked it's not listed already!

The Palestra, U. of Rochester
The whole rhythm section is locked in here. Billy and Keith sound particularly good. A good precursor to the rip-roarin' ones from the following year.

A fun one from the Dead's final show in my home state of Maine. The crowd's loving it. Great show all around.

Billy's drums sound great here. A rampaging version!

Hampton Coliseum
Bobby actually upstages Jerry here, especially after the flubbed Candyman. Wild version with tons of gusto in the vocals, and the energy continues into Big River.

??? There was no show on this date. Did you mean 4/4/85?
Hell in a Bucket
July 7, 1989
JFK Stadium
Since this comment will bring me to +666 points, I might as well comment on a hot Hell in a Bucket. And boy is it hot. Sets the tone for an excellent show.
Throwing Stones

Madison Square Garden
Hot jam with that classic Cassidy-esque riff that marked earlier versions of this song. Toward the end, it sounds like the band wants to go into Sugar Magnolia, but Jerry cans it for Touch of Grey.
