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.

Smokestack>Spoonful>Smokestack. Crazy stuff, Bob sounds absolutely terrifying.

Great version, and super strange to hear it before drums. Jerry's shredded vocals are always great on 83-84 Rats

Jerry's voice is shot but playing is gold - par for the course in fall 84.

Sloppy but so fun - an AUD captures the energy best. Thinking about how crazy this must have been at the time...

Shocked this wasn't here earlier - classic shreddy 85 version. Not the best, but certainly good, and is great as part of a BEW-Jack Straw 1-2 punch.
