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

Very hot version. Lots of shredding and a big peak, great Jerry vocals on the outro. Good call cgarces. Nice to have someone else who's really into the vince era. Summer 93 doesn't get a lot of credit, and to be fair there's a lot of "just okay" songs every show. But you just gotta poke around...

Truly classic version. It's just picture-perfect. No note out of place. It's not as exciting as 6/20/83, and it doesn't have the same ethereal feeling as the pre-hiatus versions do, but I've never heard a version more perfectly executed.
Dupree's Diamond Blues

West Palm Beach Auditorium

Never heard Jerry reach more on the vocals. He nails it. Great version

Jerry and Brent screaming lyrics, drummers locked in, whats not to like! extremely groovy and stoned version
Eyes Of The World

Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

The ridiculous fast versions of 85-86 are justly maligned, but this one is nearly as speedy but yet far more controlled, dynamic, and interesting. Great version.
