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

Is it just me or does Bobby play some riffs/chords from the China>Rider jam? Tryna see if I'm not the only one who noticed this
Ship of Fools

Internationales Congress Centrum

Jerry falters with the lyrics but the playing is masterclass
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 28, 1992
Deer Creek Music Center

Soundboard mix really shows how Bobby was beginning to step it up around this time - Jerry's health was deteriorating (hence no '92 Fall Tour) and it was clear his job was more important than ever

Buckets of fun
Wharf Rat

Cardinal Stadium

Best of '90? Can't believe this one's overlooked, even with official video released. Just the intro is over a minute long. Follows a rare for the period post-space Truckin'.
