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

Would also like to comment that Vince's contributions are hot here. Great outro jam. This was the last show when Jerry was contributing as a semi-equal member, I feel.

Come on folks! Extremely hot version, Jerry digging in along with Vince in the end solo. I always thought Vince played much better in 90-91 when Bruce wasn't there, and this version shows that off well.

Personally feel I made a mistake upvoting this. The massive flub in the transition out of the free jam is just too big to ignore.

Yes, it's pretty hot, but I remain unconvinced that any version of this song should exceed 10 minutes. They played versions of West LA in the mid-80s that were much slower paced yet lasted a much more reasonable 6-8 minutes. I can't imagine that many of the marathon first set versions in 94-95 were because Jerry had that much to say in his solos.

Very unique version. Yeah, it does kind of sound like they're playing a Bertha groove. Great, slow, and jammy version. Spring 82 is renowned of course but I've barely ever seen mention of this show - what a second set!
