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

Blown away by how incredible the mid solo is. Yes, the final jam is unbelievable, we all know that, but the middle solo is just as perfectly executed. The fast runs Jerry plays are beautiful and intense.

Totally curious, where else do you hear Rider in songs from this run? A lot of people have told me it's evident in the Scarlet>Fire transition from 10/14, but I don't really hear it.

There's a weird segment around 4 mins in where Jerry's comping a bass line and I kind of really like it. Good if spacey selection.

Weird hearing Phil sing the old "in a circle" lyrics. Great fucking show

Guitar playing here is head and shoulders above the vaunted 3/18 Spectrum version. I think this one is stronger all around.
