The rippers from June are well-loved, but this version brings just as much heat. Keith and Billy having fun playing with the 3-on-2 Other One rhythm.

Part of the Dancin' sandwich. The outro jam isn't as deep as Cobo Hall two nights later, but it's certainly good enough to be listed here

Good version from an overall great Vince show

"What you got to say, Vince?" Vince says it well, Jerry picks out two great solos, and Bobby's slide solo isn't awful!

Hilarious response by Phil to the "Let Phil sing" chants at the top of this show. "Make Phil sing"?

All five musicians provide outstanding dynamic accompaniment for Jerry's stirring, elegiac vocal and guitar solo. Guaranteed to get you right in the feels.

Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" is a dead ringer for the intro of this version (or vice versa).
Looks Like Rain
Sept. 29, 1993
Boston Garden

The Lightning Bolt guitar was well suited for this ballad, and Jerry dances elegantly through the chord changes here, both in the solo and the outro. Too bad Bob has some sort of seizure during the last chorus around 4:20.

Hampton Coliseum

Jerry's feedback whistle at around 6:15, bringing this freight train into the station. Outstanding performance.
