Hard-charging, uptempo version. Emphatic. Interesting ideas from Phil.

Listen to Phil on this. I love how when you least expect it, he reinvents how to play a song.

Surprised this isn't on here yet. Great mid-'80s plaintive vocals by Jerry, victorious solo.

In this notoriously shaky year there are often gems to be found among the train wreckage. This BEW is an example. Jerry's solo is spot on

Great version. Jerry's on fire in this whole set.

Heavy, melancholy version, Jerry's voice especially. He really nails sweet lies and the crowd goes wild.

That phrase that begins the second go-round in the solo, where it almost sounds distorted and then ends on a single, sharp note that just falls dead on the spot. Beautiful

Jerry uses the tremor and brokenness of his voice to beautiful effect
