Man does this version have a good bounce to it. I would put this version up against any version from the 80's.

This version doesn't quit. Jerry's solo is relentless

Check out the really groovy pre-drums jam that comes out of this UJB.

Great swing to this version. Excellent Brent and Jerry solos. A gem of a show from an odd tour.

This needs more love. Outstanding version! Brent adds some really cool effects. The hunter matrix sounds really good.

Is this version truly only 4 minutes long or does it start at the slight Dark Star tease 10:20 minutes into Truckin'? It's all semantics but either way the Truckin' > Spanish Jam > Dark Star > Sing Me Back Home is over 40 minutes of great music!

grendel nailed this one. Swirling, dreamy, and meditative. A nice reflective ending to a spectacular show.

Expertly placed after telling the crowd to take a step back. A very sweet and delicate version. Nice dynamics.
