Fine, fine 1989 version with a very enjoyable and weird jam into "D/S."

20 minute version with momentum and creativity galore. Held my attention the entire time.

Very cool soundcheck version released on the 2018 30 Days of Dead. It would've been cool if they busted out at this great Memphis show.

Killer Bruce era version from one of the absolute best shows of 1991.

Soldier Field

This should be higher as well. The whole band absolutely attacks the song. It has a punch few others do.

Soldier Field

MASSIVE jam here. Jerry and Bruce destroy this one. Top 5.
Dark Star

Alexandra Palace

This should have 100+ votes. It's an absolutely massive version. So quiet and pretty most of the time than just frightens the shit out of you unrelentingly. Incredible version; Billy is on fire here.
They Love Each Other

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Love this version a lot. Jerry's on fire every second of the first set.

Madison Square Garden

One of the very best post-Brent performances of any song. Jerry is as good as he's ever been here.
