A Homo erectus-like version but notable for Jerry's solo after the first Rio Grandee chorus.

Awesome early version. Jerry has a great solo at the end.

Jerry impassioned yet subdued singing in that ragged and worn voice is deeply affecting.

Jerry's voice and singing at this time fit this one perfectly.

Definitely a good one--a very good one.

Tight. The first solo is a good one.

Nice transition and even better soloing during the Fire. A more 'pure' version than that from 8 days later. Thanks for leading me to this one.

Thanks to 'Mandojammer' on the archive for leading me to this show via his 1984 project.

Gotta give this one the old bump. A nice, energetic show opener that features some good guitar work from Jerry. One listen will tell you this one is clearly underrated (as is 9/19/90).
