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

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...
Jack Straw

Richmond Coliseum

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.
