Worthy, discursive version from an amazing month.

Jerry just attacks this one (vocally too) right from the outset. I love summer '89.

As focused and energetic as the rest of the show, Jerry plays with the phrasing of his solos without missing a beat.

Another noteworthy '77 version. Listen for Jerry's melodic lines over Bob and Donna's vocal coda.

Ah, the Download Series Vol. 10 version is actually filler from 7/22. Great in any case!

Anyone else hear a momentary "Sorcerer's Apprentice" tease from Jerry in Space, give or take six minutes in?

^^ What Grendel said. I’m truly not certain if I’ve heard a better version of this song from ’77.

Primal Dead throwback. Absolutely electrifying.
