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

This one is just okay, in my opinion. Nice jam at the end that is quite reminiscent of the buildup in 10/14/94, but it doesn't reach the same heights. I would say as far as summer 94 goes, 6/19 is the version. This one is competently played but no more.

Hey Professor: definitely an accurate assumption I'd say. Unfortunate that this happens across this site and we get top-tier versions languishing. Thankfully, this one's pretty well known at this point which is a blessing. head and shoulders above any other version.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Pretty mediocre verses and the drummers fuck up the peak bigtime. It's all redeemed by an excellent 6 minute outro jam.

Vince does some characteristic for the era overplaying but Jerry actually lets him take a couple solos and it actually elevates this version to a huge peak around 11 min. Interesting and different Eyes.

Are you kidding me? This version fucking rocks! Love jerry SCREAMING "just gotta poke around" before a ripping outro jam. Needs more love
