The jam in this take blazes hotter than most any other - Jer throws an Eww! in there for good measure.

In true hard rocking '71 fashion - cover yer nuts.

2nd half of a double encore - listen to Jerry's unique phrasing so different then later versions.

This is a supertight locomotive take - so very,very worth hearing. Everyone connects here.

All of the above comments are true. I checked and Jerry really goes “Big Dawg” here.

Bobby biffs the final verse because Jerry ripped everyone's face off with his solo - Oh mi dios!
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

One of those nights where Jerry SOARS on certain tunes, Peggy-O, Jack Straw and this Half-Step are exhibits 1,2&3.

Raw and biting solo the way I like'em, I love Stagger Lee's but so, so many can be disasters (tempo?). This one keeps the momentum going and Jer's dialed up hotlicks this evening. BDub's' slide is palatable too..
