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

Jerry really winds the solo. Love it when he goes to wrap the solo up and then decides he's gonna take it around again. Beautiful one. Vince's sweet piano in the background sounds just lovely. RIP.

Wonder why Jerry broke this out when he was doing so poorly on this tour. Interesting, and rather competent version.

Fantastic Phil vocals, right on the money. Jerry’s solo is indeed probably the best conceived one he ever played on this tune. This whole show has such a beautiful happy summer feeling and it needs a lot more love.

Needs more love, another super stoned early 80s version with tons of Jerry growling. Most 90s versions can’t touch this one

Such a kind second set especially. Love this show and Phil sounds awesome.
