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.

The Other One

^^ Agreed Phil is plowing through this one and taking every one else with him. This is a stand out version; and one of the best TIFTO1, thanks to the two outstanding Cryptical's.

All the band members are sensing Jerry's every move on this one. The dynamics from understated to an intense attack. Not quite as aggressive as the, Phil Bomb, O1 from the night before. This is still an outstanding version, and another O1 from 69 that should be much higher on the list.

^^I just re-listened to this one, I totally agree. Jerry really delivers this one, both vocally and on guitar! This one's a real gem.
Playin' In The Band

This is such a well played and mixed version, it just can't be overlooked. Jerry was playing some very inspired lead licks on this one. Keith was only a month into the band, but he was already providing an element to the band, along with Jerry's Strat, that that would change their sound. This was the sound that would carry into the magic of 1972, ^^ as Crow said.

This version exemplifies the tight rock and roll unit that the band was in 71. I think bobby may have hurt his larynx on this one, though.
