Beautiful version from a totally unheralded show. Jerry's impassioned vocals in the verses blew me away.

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl, U.N.L.V.

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.

Charlotte Coliseum

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.

Sports Arena

Pretty hot version. Nice mid solo and shreddy outro that heads into a spacey jam. Great vince contributions and Jerry firing on all cylinders

They Love Each Other
Dec. 18, 1993
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Really strong version led by Vince and Jerry. Vince's real piano sound and Jerry's acoustic tone combine for a fantastic sound that really suits the song - not to mention they're both playing very well.
The Other One
March 30, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

Should have more than a couple votes. Very strong stuff, jerry on fire, pig adding nice fills, etc etc - not unique for the era but very heady.
Bird Song
June 20, 1991
Pine Knob Music Theatre

Agree with the above comments about the great full band interplay. Phil is way turned up and Vince takes a very trippy solo in the middle.
He's Gone
March 28, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

Definitely kind version and super kind pre-drums with great triple jerry combo.
The Music Never Stopped
March 28, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

Totally unbelievable version. Each note of each solo is perfectly played with laser precision, not a note out of place. Fantastic hot and long
