Beautiful version from a totally unheralded show. Jerry's impassioned vocals in the verses blew me away.

Spacey, LONG, jam. There's a video, and you can see Bob smiling as Jerry somehow nails the last climax of the jam and they slam into the chorus.

Hot version - Jerry's guitar tone is thicker than it was in 94, he's totally present and playing some of those added riffs like in 10/12/83.

Lots of very under the radar shows in 82. This version is perfectly executed from start to finish - great end jam with huge finish.

Pretty hot version. Nice mid solo and shreddy outro that heads into a spacey jam. Great vince contributions and Jerry firing on all cylinders

Vince's keys are great here. Jerry sounds tired.

The teases in the second half of space really add to the mystique of this version

Vince's contributions to the outro jam are excellent. Very electronic and totally scary. My favorite stuff I've heard from him pre-1993.

This is a great version. Definitely not fast, though. Slower than most of the versions pre 3/25/90, when they slowed it down bigtime.
