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

Doesn't get better than this, folks. An absolute trip - Bob screaming like he hadnt since 1974 and raving about the aborigines. Fantastic mid solo too, several minutes long.

Should have a lot more votes. Lightning strikes the stage and knocks out the power briefly mutilple times, egging the band (especially Jerry and the drummers) to new heights. Great AUD

Very decent version. I enjoyed it but unfortunately I can't say it feels like much more than noodling is coming from Jerry in the jam. Spacey is great, but unfocused is not.

Fillmore Auditorium

Absolutely GRIMEY version, great spooky scary sexy pigpen vocals and then a very weird jam. god i fucking love this band

Trippy version, awesome soloing and strong vocals. 83 is full of weird little gems
