Tight reading of this classic.

Very hot version. Gets bogged down in too many bop-bops, but the mid-jam is fiery at this great 1993 show.

Another great 1991 version. On the new 30 Days of Dead for 2019 along with a smoking "Deal."

In no way does this compare to the Mount Rushmore version on 3/27/94, but a solid take with a very good finale.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Coming out of Bob's "Bob Star" rap. Not the leanest, meanest, longest or most jammed out version, but good in its own way and Jerry does some work.

One More Saturday Night
May 7, 1972
Bickershaw Festival

Bobby saying "Here's Mr. Garcia" when Jerry takes his solo never fails to put a smile on his voice. Bobby was on this whole show. This song was NEVER the same once it left Europe. It almost immediately became a tossed off afterthought with little to no effort. I never, ever willingly listen to post-1972 versions. But in Europe, this song is as good a rock and roll rave up as any ever done. It's up there with "Shout" and "Gimme Some Lovin'" as one of the best party rockers of all time.

Not quite as focused as 3/27/94, but Jerry brings it at the end.

Jerry's solos are great here. Some really lovely runs.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Seriously, this should not be languishing with one vote. This is a spectacularly dark, intense, driven version.

Vince really shone on "Bird Song" from 1993-95.
