Nothing out of the ordinary, just a rock solid version coming out of Space towards the end of a terrific set. Great Jerry licks.

Excellent D/S that capitalizes on the weirdness of the preceding "Uncle John's Band" meltdown.

1994 gave us some great versions of this song. This one from the lauded MSG run is no exception.

Bright, peppy version from one the two or three truly great 1986 shows.

Just a solid well played version in a thoroughly enjoyable set. Jerry's on his game for this one.

This has nothing on the "Samba in the Rain" from Cornell.

Never thought there would be a "Dark Star" not added yet.

Mark my words: this is the best post-1972 "OMNS." The riffs are on target, the vocals are great. Excellent version.

Yea, this one is outstanding. Great solo from Jerry, too.

All of Bobby's mid-1980s' blues songs started off slow and raunchy then got faster and more laid back and generic.
