Really fun, rocking version to close out what's really an excellent show. Top 5 of 1993.

Spunky version from the first night of the last MSG run. Jerry is alert, singing with confidence and playing extremely well.

Fuck this song, but the entire show is now represented. Decent Jerry leads.

Lovely version of the Dylan classic. Jerry plays some great leads and his acoustic tone works extremely well here.

Not the biggest fan of this song, but this is a good version with a strong Jerry solo.

< Agreed. No way should this be # 1, if any should be really, as it's a bad song to begin with. But let's not sully Brent's contributions by highlighting his worst moments.

Please please please give this show and version more love! The centerpiece of an immaculately played show (Bobby's "Jack Straw" flubs notwithstanding), with everyone super locked in and really vibing off each other.

For me my ranking is 10/1 > 10/14 > 10/5 > 3/16 > / 3/27. Boston is the best for me because of how tight it is from start to finish and how the set list is pretty much perfect at every point with no real duds. 10/14's first set always felt a bit rushed but overall the playing is excellent plus, you know what happens in set 2. 10/5 has a ballbuster of a second set including the crazy UJB. 3/16 has a great run of Jerry ballads and one of the better post 1992 "Dark Stars." 3/27 always alternates with 3/21 and 3/30 for me.
