Last Pigpen, Super jammed-out and melty. How long between the killer organ chord after Phil's lead-in?? Maybe not until Brent.

Churning with energy, Jerry is on fire!! I keep coming back to this one and will update when I find a version that moves me more.

Wonderfully played, you wouldn't know it's the premiere. Pigpen adds the haunting organ. The dude who recorded the AUD said he could only listen to this version, that I can understand.

The crowd reaction says it all, a true gem. Jerry has his voice and no other version really compares.

Stuck on this one. Jerry's crunchy lead-in is just magical. So many twists and turns and styles represented here. One of the very best, period notwithstanding.
