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.

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

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.

Thunderous. One of the best stand-alone's I've ever heard.

"Eyes" was not done on this date, it's the show from the "30 Trips" box.

Yet 7/17 was just as good as the next two, go figure. Really shows that even at their best they could be pretty unpredictable.

This is an absolute train wreck of a performance from start to finish. This whole show is shockingly low quality for a year that contends to be their best, and this "Saint" is the nadir: tragically low energy, hilariously off vocal from Bobby, and the whole band sounds like they have no idea what they're doing, really. Brent was especially off this show. Unique and exciting looking set list but they execute this one poorly.

Had no idea they didn't play this one for nearly two years (I always assumed this was one of those songs that never, ever fell out of rotation), but that makes it all the more special.
