For whatever reason, '86 was a strong year for this beautiful song. This one is flawless, and Jerry's vocals are A+

This Summer ending show doesn't get much recognition, but I'll never forget ending that tour on this. Listening now it feels like yesterday.

This one is a real tear jerker. Some of the most soulful singing I’ve ever heard.

Easily one of the best. High energy and A+ execution. A good version to quiet the naysayers!!

Paramount Theater

The jam passage in the middle of this make it truly unique, and one of the best pieces of improvisational jamming during one of their strongest years. With hints of what sounds like the Weather Report intro and GDTRFB, St. Stephen and even Samson...it’s an amazing thing.
