Doesn't seem to want to end - some vocal flubs from Bobby but excellent and energetic version

Maybe not the most exploratory but it's clear the band is having fun - solid 80's version

The ending is killer. Chills the spine
Might As Well

Greensboro Coliseum

Jerry really gets into the groove at the end of the first set of this show. This Might as Well and Cassidy before it are great!

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Rather solid version for '94. I always tear up at hearing '94-'95 Jerry, but his voice and playing aren't bad here.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Listening to this on the new vinyl re-release and my mind is blown. Certifiably heady

Hits the spot. Nothing crazy by any means but just beautiful and nice. Has something of a Bird Song vibe close to the end
