Brent's First, the official revival of this song. Bobby forgets some end lyrics but just repeats the first verses to save face. Great Jerry jamming

Slithers out of space & into Dew. Not very intense but Jerry is on it 100%

Knickerbocker Arena

One of the worst Samson intros ever; clunky start, band discombobulated, Bobby throwing out lyrics at the wrong pace. Settles down in the second half

Excellent Vinnie era rendition of this early Dead tune. Last one of '92 - these became exceedingly rare in this time period

Very solid playing wise, the last Hornsby one I believe. Lyrics might be stumbled here or there but really good, one of the best of the New Speedway Boogie revival versions
