Tight reading of this classic.

Dean Smith Center

Very hot version. Gets bogged down in too many bop-bops, but the mid-jam is fiery at this great 1993 show.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Another great 1991 version. On the new 30 Days of Dead for 2019 along with a smoking "Deal."

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

In no way does this compare to the Mount Rushmore version on 3/27/94, but a solid take with a very good finale.

The Other One

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Coming out of Bob's "Bob Star" rap. Not the leanest, meanest, longest or most jammed out version, but good in its own way and Jerry does some work.

Augusta Civic Center

I think my head exploded the first time I listened to this one. It's almost not human how intense this bad boy is.

Richmond Coliseum

One of the absolute highlights of Jerry's entire output as a guitarist. I teared up at just how beautiful this version is.
El Paso
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden

This is my favorite "El Paso." Bob's acoustic guitar adds a very appropriate touch, and the way Jerry and Phil decorate it is fantastic.

The Palace

Fantastic late day "Bertha." They're really on fire for this one.
Wang Dang Doodle
July 2, 1989
Sullivan Stadium

This version should be at the top. It's unusually spooky and driven, compared to the more relaxed versions that followed.
