Easy song to overlook (I had no idea I forgot to submit it as I love this show), but this is a good one.

Surprised not to see this one; killer start to one of the year's best shows.

I often think of this one as a throwaway, but this version flat out kicks ass. Great solo from Jerry. These shows at MSG smoked.

Great version from one the best 1993 shows. Jerry's vocals are excellent and the outro jam smokes.

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.
