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

hot!!! Vince's harmonies work nicely on this one, and it's heavy all around.

Cool version! Can’t imagine how sick this must have been at the time. I actually enjoy the slower pace. This feels like a practice run for the totally sick cold rain>fire on 7/4/86.

Awesome show and awesome version. Love Vince’s barroom style keys.

Worth a listen for the interesting theme Jerry plays with throughout the final solo. Cool version.

Fantastic version. Jerry's second solo is especially hot, with some crazy runs. As to the point made above, another version of Jackaroe with three solos that bears mention is 10-12-84 - a beast as well!
