This one plays pretty true to form, but a strong, clean, and powerful rendition with nice guitar breakdowns from Jerry.

Pretty rockin' one, fast and bluesy. Just over 4 minutes of smokeshow Dead.

Very seasoned performances from the guys, this one is a gorgeous rendition of a Jerry classic. Wonderful performance from Keith on this rip.

Perfect one from an excellent fall tour. Wish it didn't cut out, but hey, a good version is a good version all the same

Not the best vocal performance, but otherwise this is a musically beautiful version.
