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

Terrible show, everyone knows about the rough Wharf Rat>NFA but this is definitely the highlight - Jerry's got that octave pedal going and it's short but VERY weird and scary.

Jerry looks really happy and honestly that's good enough for me. Fun version.

I do notice Jerry's guitar a little bit higher than usual, with a little bit more punch. This is a great version and Jerry nails every note of the slipknot riff both times.

I was listening to this high and it scared the shit out of me. Fantastic version, on par with any from the 60s imo. I like the Dick's Picks tracks because the "Spinach Jam" track starts about halfway through space and gives the jam a nice long time to build.

Love this one. Pretty hot, really feels like an old guy telling you a sailing story from his younger days. Love the Bolt tone.
