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

Way To Go Home

Was listening to this show today and this was the first time I didn't skip this song after Estimated. Honestly, Vince's voice is perfect for this kind of straight-up rock and roll song. Brent and Vince, I feel, shouldn't be portrayed as such disparate characters. The way Vince wrote songs that "didnt jibe" with the Dead's vibe, so did Brent! In fact, I'd hazard that this song was probably more fun to play than Far from Me or Easy to Love You, and is a better straight-up rock and roll song.

Honestly I love Vince on New Speedway in the 90s. His high harmonies really clicked and added some spookiness to the song IMO in a way that Brent might not have been able to

Lots of nice Jerry riffs here. Really heavy version. Should be higher
