Really good 1990s' "Beat It." Don't sleep on this show, it's on par with the previous night.

I know "LLR" gets a lot of hate for being schmaltzy and really, really bad lyrically, but this was the first Dead show I ever listened to in full and it was the song that most stood out to me. I had only known the psychedelic stuff with the weird lyrics and long jams, and didn't know they had simpler songs about more relatable human subjects. It opened my mind to seek out more angles of their music, so I'll always cherish this version.

Still nine votes somehow.

Great version, Jerry digs deep into the lyrics. Lot of personal resonance probably. Between this and the intensely rendered "Days," a pretty dark, heavy show.

If the rest of the show were like this, it would be a classic. As ferocious as any.
