It's to bad that the audio quality is so bad on this one. the playing and vocal harmonies are on the money.

The steel guitar, which I assume Jerry is playing, really helps to make this early version a good one.

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.
