NFA as a Jerry tune? Yup, here it is! "But you drive me back -- huh!" Hell yes!

Overlooked GEM! Swift yet deeply felt. Jerry CRUSHES it.

Beats 3/25/93, for my money -- though both are excellent.

I agree with all the other comments. This one beats 11/1.

I have no doubt that this Dew would be legendary if there were only a SBD of the show. What a shame... Of all the nights!

I would note, for what its worth, that the Road Trips release of this show needs speed- and pitch-correcting. I don't understand why they don't fix these quite obviously fast/slow recordings before releasing them.

I've always found this version very satisfying. I love latter-day Jerry's vocal stretches, like here with the "and no one's got the ti-HYME!!!" Every time I play this song I find myself trying to sing it that way... and usually failing.
