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

Perfect summer version for sure. Just sweet.

Was about to come say what Grendel had already said. Cynically, Jerry's definitely trying to save a song that he fully whiffed by giving it a vocal reprise (which is pretty nice, sure), but there are multiple other HUGE ones from 94 and this one doesn't deserve to be so high. 3/21 and 8/1 are legitimately stunning, and both have much stronger playing as well as even bigger vocal reprises. Overrated as hell.

major outro. Very well played and solid dew from a great year for em. Jerry absolutely shreds. Great drumming especially in the mid solo.
