Beautiful version from a totally unheralded show. Jerry's impassioned vocals in the verses blew me away.

Spacey, LONG, jam. There's a video, and you can see Bob smiling as Jerry somehow nails the last climax of the jam and they slam into the chorus.

Charlotte Coliseum
Hot version - Jerry's guitar tone is thicker than it was in 94, he's totally present and playing some of those added riffs like in 10/12/83.

Lots of very under the radar shows in 82. This version is perfectly executed from start to finish - great end jam with huge finish.

Sports Arena
Pretty hot version. Nice mid solo and shreddy outro that heads into a spacey jam. Great vince contributions and Jerry firing on all cylinders

If you like this give a listen to 9/2/79, especially the 22 minute Let it Grow. Major brent solo.

“This couple they got married” sung for Phil - he just got hitched. He talks about this moment in his book when Jerry sang that line and looked over at him and tipped him a big wink ;)

Nassau Coliseum
Such a hot version. The last great version with Jerry's cleanest acoustic tone before he started sounding much worse (both in tone and his playing) in summer 94. They screw up the coda lick when they come back to it out of the end jam, and end up skipping it and jamming it into space! Really unique and well-explored.

Perfect fully contained version. Donna never sounded better.

Really needs a lot more love. This version is as groovy as they come. Slow works great here and Jerry is super into it. I've been feeling recently that Egypt got a bum rap and this Iko makes me think I'm right.
