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.

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.

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

Great version. Jerry reaches on the vocals and playing isn't too shabby. Underrated show from a well-loved tour

The outro jam is extremely hot with some great shredding - shocking to hear Jerry play this well so late in the game. Goes to show, huh - I'm always surprised when I hear another great version from the spring 95 tour, but Jerry was decently on and the band was playing more cohesively than ever before. Tons of gems from Feb through May 95.

Better than 3/18 by a big margin, and much more intense. Jerry's vocals are perfect. Not sure how this flew under the radar.

Great to hear Phil singing here. He sounds a lot like he did singing on the vince-era versions, and it's awesome

Truly unbelievable. Feels like voices from another world. I feel that most electric BPs are not so good because of weak outro execution and because it was overplayed. I'd rather listen to this one than almost any version besides 4/14/78
