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.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Another great 1991 version. On the new 30 Days of Dead for 2019 along with a smoking "Deal."

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

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.

Winterland Arena

This, 9/10, and 10/18 are some of the most beautiful, subtle and musical versions ever performed. No weird feedback breakdowns or anything, just epic displays of how good the band can be.
Passenger
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

The raw coarseness in Brent's voice fits the harmonies so much better than Donna's.

William and Mary College Hall

Fantastic version. Tight as can be and rocks like nobody's business.
Big Railroad Blues
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

This one rips a hole in the space-time continuum.
Black Throated Wind
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center

One of many tasty delights from the best show of 1995.
