My favorite stand-alone version. This one absolutely rocks.

Great work from Bruce and Vince. Not the flashiest for Jerry, but he's still good here.

How did this one not make it up? This a full steam ahead rock and roll explosion that never lets up.

This one of the most underrated shows of their best year. This is a gorgeous "SOF" with a gold standard Jerry solo.

Funky, tight version with Brent especially on fire.

Soldier Field

This should be higher as well. The whole band absolutely attacks the song. It has a punch few others do.

MASSIVE jam here. Jerry and Bruce destroy this one. Top 5.

Alexandra Palace

This should have 100+ votes. It's an absolutely massive version. So quiet and pretty most of the time than just frightens the shit out of you unrelentingly. Incredible version; Billy is on fire here.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Love this version a lot. Jerry's on fire every second of the first set.

One of the very best post-Brent performances of any song. Jerry is as good as he's ever been here.
