Crisp, tight version. Jerry sounding good on vocals and guitar.

Solid version from the pre extended jam days.

One of the most dissed and underrated songs they played. What version wasn't any good?

Soaring jam in the pre extended jam era.

Friend of the Devil
Oct. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Underrated run of shows. 1991 had a lot of highlights and these 4 shows from Oakland are all very good.

Guys - you forgot to fit Sunshine Daydream in somewhere. As the instrumental break post vocals starts, Bruce sits back and lets Jerry take the lead and after a while, he jumps and and has some fun.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 9, 1987
UIC Pavilion

Jerry nails the instrumental break. A rollicking good version.
The Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo)
March 19, 1986
Hampton Coliseum

For a non-jam encore, there is a short, but sweet instrumental break.
Smokestack Lightnin'

Richfield Coliseum

Having similar melodies, it almost sounds like they're going going to play New Speedway Boogie. It's got that great intensity, focus and execution like so many great tunes played in 1991.
