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.

the fact that this only has four votes shows how fucked the 70s/80s bias is in dead listenership

I think this is the longest -- breaks free into some very interesting territory at ~14 on the relisten version. Has a sort of China Cat > Rider transition meets Space vibe.

Hot as hell, 17 minute type II jammy version, with a great transition into a SUPER FAST rider
