Not the best recording, but Jerry vocals are just right on this version.

Bobby's voice is in top form on this tight, energetic version. The transition into NFA is flawless.

This is a tight, high enegy, version. Really about as good as this song got. You can tell the audience agreed.

Good acoustic version of this song. The audio quality isn't as good as the 05/70 versions but the playing and vocals are quite good.

From an all acoustic set. Tight harmonies on this one.

This is pure psychedelic magic, as is this whole show. Jerry is on fire on this one!

This is a very clean version and a good mix. Nice up-tempo version. Jerry's vocals and guitar playing are both in good form here. Keith is adding some very nice and appropriate piano work on this one.

I had to give this another listen. The contemplative quality of this version really conveys the emotional content of this song. And Jerry's solo is superb. Not the best mix, but a great version.

Because the critics just don't understand the art of noodling! If any one really listens to Jerry's playing you will discover a melodic and tonal complexity that should place him high on the list of the best rock guitarists of all time!

It's to bad that the audio quality is so bad on this version. They played this one with a lot of energy and imagination, it takes some unexpected turns and everyone's locked in. Jerry was channeling 1968 Jerry, at times.
