Great guitar work highlights this version, Jerry is dialed in from the get-go. Great show.

Don't sleep on this one - super dark and intense version.

Great version that gets really spooky towards the end. Very nice exploratory passages with Jerry, Brent and the Devils especially shining.

An utterly whacked out version. Healy's vocal effects are just plain weird.

This is an awesome version. Second one after Brent's death. Deeply felt with pinpoint emotion. Great version.

Vince actually sounds a bit like early Brent in the vocals.
