Not a fan of this song but this version has spunk to spare. Still better when it was called "Hell in a Bucket."

The Dave Murray "Love Light"! Also, James Cotton lays down the harp for an extra bluesy feel. Really spry, energetic version from a great show.

Ass Kicker. 1985 was very kind to "Big Railroad Blues."

This should be way higher. It might well be the best of the whole decade. Incendiary version.

Really great NYC version. Also, strangely, the first since May of that year.

This may be my new favorite version. Jerry puts everything he's got into it. Really soulful performance in the middle of a first set that thrills relentlessly.

I.....I....I can't believe I am upvoting a version of this song. There's an undeniable energy to this one, and Jerry plays some really interesting and creative stuff that deserves a better home than this dumpster fire of a song.
