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.

This may be my favorite. Jerry's vocals and playing are both lovely.

Sounds like they tease "Satisfaction" at the beginning.

Upvoting this to draw attention to how spectacularly horrendous this performance is. It's something to behold.

I was just about ask that...the key for "Fire" is different. What an outlier. Bruce is great here and outshines Jerry, who's rarely sounded froggier. I think 4/7/85 is the only show where I've heard him sound worse.
