Not normally a big fan of this song, but Bruce Hornsby on accordion adds a lot of welcome texture to the mix

Pig's harmonica playing and singing is great, and the rest of the band sounds just as good.

Brent is all over this one, and makes it a standout from a very good show.

Keith is going nuts and the drummers have a swing in their shoes. FANTASTIC version that needs some love.

Absolutely flabbergasted this isn't on here. An incredible version from Barton Hall. Brings tears to my eyes.

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

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

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.
