A great choice and hot version, coming after Sugaree and before Bird Song. Bob really gets into it.

In their hurry up offense, they bust out some crisp, tight jamming and vocals. Excellent energy and execution.

Bob sings - ever since she went and her sex change, all her friends can say is ain't it a shame.

Nice showcase tune for Donna, to show the world she can do more than scream. Nice guitar work by Jerry towards the end.

Pigpen takes some small steps forward with his improvisational singing, but there's still a long way to go. Worth a listen.

Fun early version highlighted by some good Pigpen vocals and some screaming guitar work from Jerry. Give it a listen!

Let's face it - Phil's singing isn't very good and the instrumental work isn't up to Grateful Dead standards.

This is pretty low in the rankings of all-time best performances. The only real strong point is Bob's emphatic backup vocals.
