Tight reading of this classic.

Dean Smith Center

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.

I'm not a big fan of this song but this is a very good version (and it's lightyears better than "Samba in the Rain"). I really love these Memphis shows. The boys threw down and made up for the 20+ years they hadn't been there.

Very patient, delicate version.

Pig's versions are generally the best, but you gotta give it to Bobby for at least this one. He absolutely roars it and Jerry's guitar work is fuckin' sexy.

Capital Centre

Maybe the timing is off, maybe it's not a perfect version...but it's fucking "Ripple." I wish they kept this in rotation until 1995. Would've been great in the "Attics" / "Brokedown" spots.

The Spectrum

Great version of maybe their most perfect song.
