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

Very solid version. Video shows Jerry present and very into it.

Would also like to comment that Vince's contributions are hot here. Great outro jam. This was the last show when Jerry was contributing as a semi-equal member, I feel.

Come on folks! Extremely hot version, Jerry digging in along with Vince in the end solo. I always thought Vince played much better in 90-91 when Bruce wasn't there, and this version shows that off well.

Personally feel I made a mistake upvoting this. The massive flub in the transition out of the free jam is just too big to ignore.

Yes, it's pretty hot, but I remain unconvinced that any version of this song should exceed 10 minutes. They played versions of West LA in the mid-80s that were much slower paced yet lasted a much more reasonable 6-8 minutes. I can't imagine that many of the marathon first set versions in 94-95 were because Jerry had that much to say in his solos.

Very unique version. Yeah, it does kind of sound like they're playing a Bertha groove. Great, slow, and jammy version. Spring 82 is renowned of course but I've barely ever seen mention of this show - what a second set!
