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.

Truly heart-wrenching version. Just wonderful coming out of the drums > space (which is absolutely looney, vapor-trash-amazement). My go to version of this song. Jerry ballads are just so much more weighty when he's near death.

One of my personal favorite versions // the portion beginning at about 13:50 could have been used as the music in the Mos Eisley Cantina -- truly world music from another world. Shades of The Residents work in the 90s and a demonstration of the Rhythm Devils' proto-vaporwave predilections.
