Can't go wrong with this one or 4/13/84 today. They are both phenomenal!

Teeters on the edge of being too fast for me, but its one of the more rhythmically unique versions I've ever heard. This thing DRIVES...hard.

I will continue to bang the talking drum for this incredible version. 4/20/84 gets well-deserved accolades but I like this one just as much. I would also encourage fans of these versions to check out 4/26/84, which is currently (and criminally) sitting in single digits but is in a similar vein with another terrific transition jam.
