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.

This has nothing on the "Samba in the Rain" from Cornell.

Springer's Inn

Never thought there would be a "Dark Star" not added yet.

Mark my words: this is the best post-1972 "OMNS." The riffs are on target, the vocals are great. Excellent version.

Yea, this one is outstanding. Great solo from Jerry, too.

All of Bobby's mid-1980s' blues songs started off slow and raunchy then got faster and more laid back and generic.
