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.

Thanks darkstar 67, the 04-15-70 Lai & Gucka source is so clean and very well mixed. That Dire Wolf version is the same length as the one from the Club agora show, but a different solo, better I think. That show has a different set list then the other two 04-15 recordings. I wonder what's up with that!

Bad recording, but a good, heartfelt, version of this wonderful song.

Bad audio, but a good heartfelt version of this song, Jerry was at his "high-lonsome" best on this one.

This was one of Keith's very early shows. He was already contributing some very nice piano parts to these songs, which was a very new thing for the band. This song has a lot of energy and good playing, good choice, Cucamonga!

I agree with all of the above statements. This song, as well as the entire show, is exicuted and mixed perfectly, or close to it. Jerry"s singing and Bobby and Brent's harmonies are so good. It is a little weird that 50 seconds into the song the crowd noise completely drops out of Jerry's vocal channel. But overall, I love this version.
