Boston Garden

Drums has a deep ambient gamelan jam between the BAM BAM intro and beam. Space is CD-ROM-era tones and vaporwave-core

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

I have very little patience for Bobby blues - but Jerry and Vince are very present and riffing on this cut

Hampton Coliseum

Drums is very drippy and boom boom. Weird effects on space / phasery, flangery stuff. Very Frippertronics-like version. Transitions into Spanish Jam

Super floaty version with an uplifting MIDI flute solo at approx 5:30. Lovely Vince-era rendition.

Truly heart-wrenching version. Just wonderful coming out of the drums > space (which is absolutely looney, vapor-trash-amazement). My go to version of this song. Jerry ballads are just so much more weighty when he's near death.

One of my personal favorite versions // the portion beginning at about 13:50 could have been used as the music in the Mos Eisley Cantina -- truly world music from another world. Shades of The Residents work in the 90s and a demonstration of the Rhythm Devils' proto-vaporwave predilections.
