They are just "on" this show. Killer Masterpiece. Great energy.

There's something about the aging in Jerry's voice that gives the song extra gravitas.

Real crisp version. Brent sounds like he's dropping pixie dust.

I remember being at this show and joking with my buddy about the that the song being played meant the band was dissolving. It still bugs me.

This song at this show was the moment that I got on the bus!

The clarity of the recording makes this one stand out. The start, slow and steady, with whatever that thing Mickey is playing sounding like a frog chirping, takes me back to camping on a lake in summer. Then it disappears into "space" for a while, only to reappear stronger and more powerful than before. 2/13 will always be my favorite for personal reasons but this is a strong version.

Winterland Arena

Understatement of the century! This thing just keeps going. No peaks and valleys. Just high energy from start to finish. Tie one on and hold on.

It's hard to compete with the late '70s shows but this version holds its own nicely. Probably the best of the '90s versions I've ever heard.
