Not a song I love, but this one has fire to spare. I love this show.

Gorgeous, lilting version with a transcendent solo. Brent is great on the keys, too.

On the war path for this show now. This is a fun, spritely version with great work from Jerry.

Thoroughbred version! Comes galloping out of the gate like a champ and never lets up. Part of a monster set 2.

< Agreed. No way should this be # 1, if any should be really, as it's a bad song to begin with. But let's not sully Brent's contributions by highlighting his worst moments.

Please please please give this show and version more love! The centerpiece of an immaculately played show (Bobby's "Jack Straw" flubs notwithstanding), with everyone super locked in and really vibing off each other.

For me my ranking is 10/1 > 10/14 > 10/5 > 3/16 > / 3/27. Boston is the best for me because of how tight it is from start to finish and how the set list is pretty much perfect at every point with no real duds. 10/14's first set always felt a bit rushed but overall the playing is excellent plus, you know what happens in set 2. 10/5 has a ballbuster of a second set including the crazy UJB. 3/16 has a great run of Jerry ballads and one of the better post 1992 "Dark Stars." 3/27 always alternates with 3/21 and 3/30 for me.
