Stunning version. Sung with lots of passion, and during the solo, Jerry lets Wolf run loose and lets her howl. Great version from a great show!

Almost gets to tiger levels of crazy. Very powerful version that could genuinely go on and on forever and I wouldn’t be mad. A true dreamscape.

This needs to be listened to. This is pure psychedelic cowboy music that puts you right in the story. One of my new favorite versions. Just perfect.

Stay cool with this one, temperatures reach higher than average and might melt your face off.

The transition jam is some truly heavy stuff. Like being pulled into an event horizon through the sheer gravitational force of it. I used to dismiss this version but upon returning to it, is one of the most unique versions out there. Jerry is the de facto leader of this jam as well. Captain trips isn’t a title that’s easily obtained, yet here he shows us exactly why he’s called that.

Just completely flows. The entire band is on, but specially for the era, I gotta give Jerry his flowers. He absolutely takes over, taking this song to higher peaks. Neon jamming. Absolutely awesome. The 80s has some amazing moments. Also have been digging 11/30/80 as of late.
