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

One of the heaviest Dead moments ever. Stunning version, Jerry's vocals are as strong as you've ever heard em

Solid version, and very interesting fuzzed out tone from Jerry in the end solo. Brent's doing some weird shit too. rather unknown and hot show

Ok come on folks even if just for the stunning first UJB this deserves more votes. Absolutely torn to bits in the outro and (very smooth) transition to playin.

Super tight. Perfect re-entry from spaciness into the end jam. Jerry is on FIRE, Bob right along with him. Everyone always talks about the Wharf Rat>Sugar Mag and for good reason, but now that there's a very good AUD out there, no reason to not enjoy the whole show.
