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

With feeling. Jerry goes for it on the vocals.

Honestly one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard. I saw someone comment on another version “this is one of the reasons I stopped seeing the dead” and I get it. I’ll take any Vince song over this. Jerry takes some ripping solos though, and the little out jam into terrapin is cool.

Sorry to say that no 94 DS gets my vote. This one and 3/16 are both unexploratory noodlefests. I will give Vince some credit - his sound is very reminiscent of Pigpen's 60s Vox organ. Really cool. This show overall is quite good, but they should have hung up DS after 3/20/92.

Sublime transition from Estimated to Terrapin. Love how Jerry plays with the classic Lady with a Fan riff out of Estimated. Very underrated show IMO

I'm not going to lie I straight up love Vince's "Roll away-ay-ay the dew" harmonies on all the 90s Franklin's. Come at me, haters
