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

Very strong version, fantastic jam with jerry reaching incredible peaks. Cassidy really reached new heights from 83-89.

Super powerful version, very strong out solo, Jerry was really present and on it for this one. Shouldn’t be missed.

Always want to find versions that aren’t 77 to upvote, but man, may 77 really was the banner month for this tune. Aching and beautiful each and every version, and this ones no exception. Love how sweet and tender Jerry played the solos in may before his tone changed when he switched to wolf in the fall.

Memorial Stadium

Pretty hot outro and Jerry doesn’t miss a lyric. Nice one.

Jerry didn’t play a bad version of this song, but I’m pretty sure this one is the best. His voice is just aching and perfect.
