A very strange opening - it sounds like Jerry doesn't want to play it.

Only part of the intro survives, but what's there sounds good.

Playin' In The Band
Dec. 2, 1973
Music Hall

It's not a Dear Prudence Jam - it's a Mind Left Body Jam. I don't understand how people continue to mix the two up - they are nothing like each other. This coming from a hardcore JGB fan who would know a Dear Prudence Jam when he hears it.
Mind Left Body Jam
April 8, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

It's a little different because you can hear the call for Sugar Magnolia fairly earl\y into the jam and it resurfaces a few times. Excellent!!!!!!!!

Utica Memorial Auditorium

One of the better versions.
You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man
June 24, 1973
Memorial Coliseum

Best version I've heard. Donna is very level, singing - not screaming. Nice twangy guitar from Jerry and a short jam by Keith. Excellent sound quality on the board.
