A little extra mustard on this one.

Uniquely satisfying. Bob and Keith lock into a mind-meld that leads Jerry in some interesting directions.

Unique, trippy energy on the intro. Mellow vibes throughout.

Tight, inspired, and full of ideas. A stand-out version from a stand-out show.

Tight, hard-driving, and full of energy. A great rave up after some thoughtful somber passages before.

Bob is constantly throwing curveballs and Jerry keeps finding the plate and smacking them out of the park. Fucking stellar version.

Wow, Jerry really reaches into the deep end for a very angry, agitated jam that really makes the most of the odd time signature. Hugely underrated version.

Gorgeous, inventive jamming. This version goes places others don't.

This version is so much better than Cornell.

You can just feel how jazzed the band is by the energy coming from the crowd. This version may not be the headiest, but it has a certain intensity that puts it up there.
