Fast but very neat and tight. Cool version from the best run of 1986.

Motherfucker out of "Cold Rain & Snow." Shit hot and rockin'. A bit sloppy but full of energy.

Vince is admittedly awful here, but Phil and Jer make up for it. Cool version.

Not a great show, Jerry still finding strength after the coma. This BRB, however, smokes.

Always the little song that could in any set it appeared in. This one rocks.

How this one only has six I will never know. Top 3 version along with 6/22/91 and 12/28/91.

Band did right by Memphis these two nights.

A great show is a great show regardless of the era and this is a GREAT show in 1993. Very strong "FOTD," much peppier than usual with Jerry making up for his ragged voice with choice guitar work and Vince is on here.

This version deserves some love. The acoustic tone is perfect for this seductive, playful song, giving it that slinky sound it thrives on. Maybe the best I've heard post-1991.

HOLY SHIT, this version is incredible. Jerry fucking throttles the outro. Just pure power and emotion.
