My favorite of the year. Not the longest but it's just performed tight!

Night after top voted version and after sampling back to back I gotta go with this one, Jerry power riff galore to power home

I did cause of that sick Jerry riff at the end. If you listen to most Staggers from '78 lots of them are quite equal to 12/16. 5/12/79 is the best due to the blissful ~2 minute jam that wraps it up. I don't know the exact length but it's without question the longest Stagger outro. So psychedelic.

Double post, just listen and drool.

This is the band's best performance of this song and it's not even close. Screw 12/16/78.

This should have at least a dozen votes. Easily top Estimated of the year. Madness. Listen to this show and vote up 85% of songs played. It's only fair.

Oozes with Spring '78 energy. Ace keeps the slide in his pocket for the most time and plays some funky riffs that make the body move as Jerry plays for an audience in Mars.
