A great one from summer '90. Vocals are crisp, musically the organ work is great and the band is tight and all in the flow.

Jerry solo for most of it with some effects from time to time. Unique. And then it goes into Dew

This song is not really in a "heady" format, but I always liked it as a 1st set tune. This version is well.played as is this show.

Yes 1984. I love the ups that happen in this year. This version has a lot of great energy from the boys. Mid-song solo is very strong.

Jerry's voice. Wow. This version is basically studio ready. Phil drops a few well-timed bombs. Just a sweet version all around.

This is a class A rock and roll solo for the Jer Ber in this version. Wow! '81 was tight as it gets tight.

If this version doesnt have you smiling, I dont know what to tell you. The energy from every member of the band is palpable, Brent's keys, Phil's bombs, the drummers thunder rolls, Garcias fills and Bobby's vocals with high energy screaming, comes together and makes this one a must listen to for all Heads.
