Jerry is on point in the first set. Excellent version with mournful vocals, crisp effected guitars, and strong Vince. Recommended!

Beautiful! The pain is there, but Jerry is lucid and feeling it. Flows nicely into Throwing Stones

Excellent mid-80s version. Jerry is very lucid in this show, heartfelt and floaty version.

Love this version. Not jammed out, but incredibly delivered and fun.

very well performed. Re-master on the RFK boxset is sublime. Someone is triggering dramatic thunderstorm sound effects around the 7:00 mark.

Killer version -- you got it on the head with the strong VINCE comment. He's great on this one. I love how delicate it is. One thing I have to mention is that Mickey triggers a sample of a loon call at a few moments during the song. Very cool and atmospheric. On AUDS you can hear the crowd going wild during the final TERRAPINs

Really a continuation of the Dark Star -- but one of the wackiest sets in the later years.

Jerr sounding like papa death on the vocals, but this is some of the looniest tunes in the catalog.
