Passionate, Jerry sounds like he is sining this as a desperate warning amidst a party that slowly catches on to the singers desertion and by the end..

Honestly one of my all time favorite shows.

Agree this is the top version. This whole run coupled with Radio City is honestly as on as the boys could be. Some truly tight crisp performances. Jerry is so beautiful on this evening.

Charlie Miller is a godsend. Slow and deliberate sung with purity. A typically crisp 1980 version. https://archive.org/details/gd1980-09-26.sbd.miller.118444.flac16

Beautiful delicate with a really killer jam, Brent is amazing here playing so delicate flows into a terrific playin' jam that moves into the drums portion.

Brent puts on a clinic, Jerry is superb. They nailed some great ones in this time frame.
