Hollywood Bowl

Wildly exuberant both before and after "SSDD" vocals. And Billy is all over this great AUD.

Miami Arena

Played pretty fast (for the slow version) and heavy with MIDI and spirited playing. Not to everyone’s taste, perhaps, but I like it!

Charlotte Coliseum

Sparkling rendition. Fans of upbeat '89 versions like 7/7 should check this out.

Sharp, feisty version with Jerry and Brent setting up a beautiful, dreamy -> Terrapin

It's not just you. This version was one of my early go-tos (you know, when I wanted to hear BIODTL).

I love the space after the first verse vocals. Like proto-Sonic Youth. Very heady.

Nice long jam following William Tell. Phil is thunderous.

Very enjoyable '90s Playin' -- I was impressed! The whole band really is on throughout the whole thing.
