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

This needs more attention. A very well played version, and the only one with lyrics post 85. Jerry's digital preamp gave him a very "fat" tone from dec 92 through summer tour 93 and it really works here. Seriously underrated and must have been unbelievable hearing this live.

Absolutely fantastic playing and singing here. Jerry's all over the mid solo and the outro - the phrase he plays with in the beginning of the outro is LOVELY. Highly recommend this one - the Deer Creek run in 94 was not so bad, all things considered.

I'd like to take back my previous comment -- upon a re-listen I've found that Jerry's playing is strong, especially in the mid solo and in the second half of the outro. He's just a little quiet. Overall very strong version for this late in the game. For competitors see 7/19/94, 4/2/95, 5/29/95
