BEAM! Very trippy. This show is just amazing. Get the SBDMC>DAT>CDR source.

Scary freaking version with ghosty Donna wails. Nice transition into a tear-jerking Wharf Rat.

Just exactly perfect version with crisp Jerry leads and Reading Rainbow tone on Brent's piano. Superior '83 playin'.

An expert rendition. Jerry is using his crispy Rosebud tone. The band is tight, and Jerry sings it beautifully. My favorite latter-era tune.

Hair-raising 1st set opener. Phil is all over his fretboard. A unique performance with a lot of thick piano work from Keith. Driving drummers!

The middle jam is excellent.

Short, but incredibly psychedelic.

St. Stephen tease during the ending Jer solo.

Technically, far from perfect—but man, this one will kick you in the teeth. Super heavy Phil zone and blasts of energy.

Holy cow. I have heard great performances of this song before, but this one has bumped the others off the top of the leader board. Great show all around too.
