Very strong outro jam. Jerry may have had shaky fingers but he really busted his ass to deliver here.

Jerry is absolutely dialed in, hot solo. Basically unknown show due to only AUDs avail.

Jerry in stunning voice. Tearjerker version

Really beautiful version, Jerry clearly emotionally invested in the delivery. Great playing too despite the year. Worth a listen.

Sick end jam, unbelievable distorted wah feedback jam from bob at the end

Jerry really winds the solo. Love it when he goes to wrap the solo up and then decides he's gonna take it around again. Beautiful one. Vince's sweet piano in the background sounds just lovely. RIP.

Wonder why Jerry broke this out when he was doing so poorly on this tour. Interesting, and rather competent version.

Fantastic Phil vocals, right on the money. Jerry’s solo is indeed probably the best conceived one he ever played on this tune. This whole show has such a beautiful happy summer feeling and it needs a lot more love.

Needs more love, another super stoned early 80s version with tons of Jerry growling. Most 90s versions can’t touch this one

Such a kind second set especially. Love this show and Phil sounds awesome.
