Swirling organ and guitar. Raw energy.

Madison Square Garden

Ender to a very good first set. Jerry in fine form vocally, and he and Marsalis and musical in their sparseness.

Dark and moody version. Phil. The full ensemble drop into the minor for the solo break.

Probably won't hold much for the older Heads, but I like it.

Hornsby always makes Jerry sing better. Here's the AUD I've been loving: https://archive.org/details/gd1991-06-14.sennME80.wklitz.94371.flac16
Eyes Of The World

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

Nice groove on this one. I need to check out the rest of this show!

Uptown Theater

I like the relaxed tempo, and it lets the band get funky. The vocals are (uncharacteristically) good, and Brent is exploring a wide range of sounds and colors that help this version pop. Wish there wasn't a cut in the solo! Nice call on this one.
He's Gone

Greek Theatre - University of California

Hey Grendel, thanks for the recommendation! One of my first tapes was the 7/31 Manor Downs show, so I'm a big fan of the '82 shows. I'll check it out!
