Truly proves there was some magic on every tour. The outro jam is unreal hot, with Jerry, Vince, and Bruce battling it out. Crazy stuff here!

Jerry gets really into it in the second half. Not lifechanging, but fun

Excellent, hard-charging version from arguably the best show of 87. Bobby stuttering all over the verses

Doesn't get better than this, folks. An absolute trip - Bob screaming like he hadnt since 1974 and raving about the aborigines. Fantastic mid solo too, several minutes long.

Should have a lot more votes. Lightning strikes the stage and knocks out the power briefly mutilple times, egging the band (especially Jerry and the drummers) to new heights. Great AUD

Very decent version. I enjoyed it but unfortunately I can't say it feels like much more than noodling is coming from Jerry in the jam. Spacey is great, but unfocused is not.

Absolutely GRIMEY version, great spooky scary sexy pigpen vocals and then a very weird jam. god i fucking love this band

Trippy version, awesome soloing and strong vocals. 83 is full of weird little gems
