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.

The Other One

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.

Should be WAAAAYYY higher. Jerry gets after it like a jack rabbit fucking.

Vince's first is a must hear. Anyone who thinks the post-Brent decline was an instantaneous thing needs to listen to these September East Coast shows. Vince's tone was much cleaner and natural sounding than 1992 onward.

This one should shoot way up to the list. The transition is stone cold brilliance and the "Fire" is a nuclear assault.
