This could have been the debute of this song. A very young Bobby is kind of yelling it. It's interesting to hear how these early covers evolved.

This is a beautiful and emotional version, it's hard to hear over the crowd noise, but they where digging it!

Bobby was singing with clarity and authority on this one. This is a good tight version.

Billy and Micky lay down a tight rythm for every one to lock into, and they do. Crowd noize on all sources that i've heard.

from what I can gather on the archive, this is the very first show to used a new guitar intro. This is the intro the band used from then on and the version that most heads know. I actually prefer the original intro, but by 69 they've slowed the song down, and that works better for me.

The archive has this labeled as Winterland. Wherever it was, it cooks!

Jerry was getting the definitive guitar tone for this song. He must have pulled out one of his strats for this one. This is very good version of this song and a good recording.

Jerry's guitar tells the whole story!
