Bobby has some of those spring summer 1993 throat issues but battles threw them to give a raspy but rocking hard version Jerry really pushing the song

Franklin's Tower
This shit was total lightning. Really high energy with the whole band being individuals together. Also, Jerry is fast as fuck on this one.

Right after the "eating candy" verse, you can hear the band find the pocket and really tear thru the rest of the song. My favorite!
